Mammograms Beat Thermography for Breast Cancer Detection: Study

Reader Comments

One thermography should not be used to compare with one mammogram. Research has indicated that the best way to use thermography is to look for changes over time. This means that a follow up thermography, taken at least 3 months apart, should be performed before drawing final conclusions with regard to thermographic results.

Twenty five to thirty percent of the cancers detected by mammogram/biopsy go away by themselves or grow so slowly that a woman would live out her entire life and die from something else, with the breast cancer, not from it!

Mammogram uses ionizing radiation to detect suspicious lumps. Ionizing radiation is a known cancer causing toxin to which breast tissue is particularly susceptible.

If a thermography detects abnormal activity in the breasts before there is a tumor large enough to be detected by mammogram, sonogram, or MRI, that is early detection not false positive.

Mammogram, sonogram, and MRI detect the earliest stage of cancer that conventional medicine knows how to treat, i.e. biopsy, lumpectomy/mastectomy, chemo, radiation, hormonal therapy. Because conventional medicine has no knowledge of how to restore the bodies ability to heal itself, does not equate to there is no other more effective treatment.

The drive for profit has clouded the vision of policy makers with regards to health. There is no financial incentive to promote self healing, so we have sicknesscare not healthcare.

Thermography detects breast cancer 8-10 years before a mammogram. Who paid for this so-called research/study? Look at the independent numbers and you will see that thermal imaging beats mammograms every time. Ask the actual survivors of breast cancer and what saved their lives.

This is not a well written article. I would like to see the comparison of mammography and thermography (i.e. how many false positives or misses for each from the 180 group). Also, some citations seem to be in order.

I am actually very interested in getting real information about this topic, and it appears that everything that is written is an advertisement for one method or the other. I want to see data!

Thermography did not pick up DCIS which mammogram showed as 2.5cm and MRI showed as 5mm.
