ing of heat or inflammation on a thermo- gram could be an early warning sign that a problem is developing or exists.


Breast abnormalities such as tumors


don’t just suddenly appear. Long before you and your doctor feel a lump, or it’s discovered by a mammogram, its cellular contributors are hard at work behind the scenes. The process of cancer starts with one abnormal cell and can take up to 10 years to replicate to one billion cells which is about 1 centimeter, the size of an eraser head. This is the size of a lump that can be detected by mammography.


Cancer cells also require a blood sup-


ply and an ever-increasing need for nutri- ents in order to survive and proliferate. Be- ing aggressive, these cells create their own pathway to obtain this nourishment and lifeforce. In order to do this, the cells send out chemical messages to open existing blood vessels, recruit dormant vessels, and create new ones. This process of increased blood vessels is known as neoangiogen- esis and it results in an increase of surface temperatures of the breast. With the activity of these blood vessels, there is an increase of blood flow which produces heat and in- flammation that can be detected by the in- frared camera and seen on a thermogram. Mammograms and physical exams cannot detect this early-cellular, physiological process which typically occurs within the breast tissue 5-10 years before the slightest sign of a lump. Since functional changes precede structural changes, thermography can provide valuable information in the early indication of breast changes and disease. Further, these early warning signs can alert a physician to monitor a woman closely and more importantly, put forth pre- ventative measures to help reduce certain risk factors of breast cancer.


Early Detection and Prevention


Mammography is praised as the gold standard for breast screenings, yet it’s far from perfect and has its limitations. It has been shown to be an ineffective screening tool for dense breast tissue and women with implants. Not to mention mammo- grams expose sensitive breast tissue to ion- izing radiation which research has shown to be an environmental cause of cancer. However, if cancer is detected, even early, it means you already have cancer. The current dialog pertaining to breast cancer focuses on detecting it, then treating it. Shouldn’t this narrative change? Shouldn’t prevention take precedence over detec- tion? Prevention means not getting cancer in the first place. In my opinion, if there’s
