Abstract

Thermography as one of the methods of early detection of breast cancer is well established in many centers all over the world. Opinions on its value vary greatly, from complete negative with only 39% correlation with histology,1 up to 100% of positive thermograms in cancer patients as shown by Swearingen.2 In the majority of the papers however, thermography was positive in 75–85% of carcinoma patients.3,4,5,6,7 Our own experiences with 10,000 screening examinations and 192 discovered cancers showed 81.64% positive thermograms.8
