Breast Cancer: ... What are the Chances? In the 1940’s the chances of developing breast cancer were 1 in 40. Times have changed. Currently the American Cancer Society estimates that about 1 in 8 US women will develop invasive breast cancer over the course of her lifetime. 75% of women who get breast cancer have no family history of the disease. 15 - 20% of all breast cancers occur in women under the age of 45.

Let me see if I can tackle both for you. Thermography & mammography are complimentary tools in the war against breast cancer. Thermography is known to provide the earliest sign that a cancer may be forming. In fact, thermal scans may detect the first signs of some cancers forming years before other procedures such

Estrogen Dominance & Thermography: What Your Breasts are Trying to Tell You Lifetime exposure to estrogen has been identified as a significant risk factor for the development of cancer.

Thermography vs. Mammography: Like comparing Apples to Oranges…. They are not competitors. They compliment each other. Thermography is a test of PHYSIOLOGY. It looks at function. Thermography uses no radiation and no contact, but instead reads the infra-red heat radiating from the surface of the body. This focus on physiology may alert us to inflammation, unusual vascularity, potential disease development, potential tumor growth, and to other conditions. A thermogram is a phy
