Are you personally at a greater risk for breast cancer?

​

A woman living in the United States has a 1-in-8 lifetime risk of being diagnosed with breast cancer.  

​

In the 1970s this risk was 1-in-11.  Increased risk is not because women are being made differently, it's because today we are exposed to more and more causes of inflammation.

​

Thermography provides an individualized breast cancer risk assessment.  

​

Women with a family history are definitely at greater risk, but 85% of women who get breast cancer have no family history of the disease.

​

Thermography plays an important role in breast cancer prevention. Breast Thermography can warn women if they have estrogen activation in the breasts or inflammation (heat) present that may indicate risk.  

​

The most significant risk factors for breast cancer are age (getting older) and gender (being a woman).  80% of all breast cancers are estrogen driven. To be clear, estrogen doesn't cause breast cancer, it feeds it.  

​

Thermography offers accurate scanning for women under 40.  

​

Approximately 1/3 of all breast cancers occur in women under 45.  

​

No one test is perfect.  

​

Studies show up to a 61% increase in survival rate when thermography and mammography are used together.  Mammography can confirm or deny if you have a tumor.  Thermography can provide information to assess your risk for developing a tumor.
