Breast Thermography vs Mammograms

I get a newsletter from Dr Susan Lark. It is more like an endless advertisement for stuff but I find her interesting regardless. Here is something that just came in the inbox and I thought I would share:

"The latest studies show that for every 2,000 women who get a routine mammogram, one life is prolonged. If that seems mediocre, you should know that protecting any individual woman against breast cancer was never the goal of routine mammograms-it's well known that they miss too many cancers in the early, most treatable stage. As a routine screening tool, their purpose is simply to reduce the percentage of women who die from breast cancer."

For these exact reasons, I recommend a breast imaging test called thermography over mammography for all women 40 and over. A normal breast thermogram for each woman is like her fingerprint: It's uniquely hers, and it doesn't change much over time. And, in most cases, a woman's left breast is pretty close to a mirror image of her right breast. Because an adult woman's breasts are finished growing, they're normally cool, thermographically speaking. Most tumors, on the other hand, like to grow. That's an energetic enterprise that requires more blood supply and usually generates extra heat-not enough for a woman to notice, but enough to show up on a thermogram well before a tumor is large enough to show up on a mammogram. On a thermogram, tumors not only show up as "hot," but they either stay that way or get hotter over time. Noncancerous structures such as cysts and abscesses cool down, but a mammogram can't "see" that like a thermogram can. And, because thermography doesn't involve radiation, a new spot can be reevaluated as often as necessary to monitor its behavior.

Thermography vs Mammograms?
