Beyond Mammography.Update 2013

submitted by: admin on 06/28/2015
This PowerPoint presentation on Beyond Mammography reviews the challenges we're facing with mammography as a screening test and the need for bringing breast thermography forward to improve both the sensitivitly of finding breast cancers as well as the specificity that reflects its accuracy.        

Breast Thermography: Is It Underutilized?

submitted by: admin on 09/19/2013
  The FDA published information in Journal Watch in June of 2011 that is packed with presumptive and incorrect information about breast thermography and they have to know it! Breast thermography was approved in 1982 as an adjunct to mammography to evaluate for breast cancer. In 2004 the FDA rejected breast thermography as a stand alone test for breast...

submitted by: admin on 09/03/2014
This is a PowerPoint presentation on why doctors should expand the boundaries of breast cancer screening by including breast thermography.

There is considerable confusion about the role of mammograms in breast cancer detection in premenopausal women.

Mammograms are a poor screening test for premenopausal women. There are too many false positive and negative findings. Breast thermography is the answer. They have not been widely accepted.

Mammography: More Harm than Good?

submitted by: admin on 06/18/2016
  Screening mammograms could be doing more harm than good according to an article published in the British Medical Journal in December of 2011. The benefits of mammograms were not so apparent because of the risk for overtreatment. Data showed that for every 2000 women taking a mammogram throughout 10 years, one will have her life prolonged, and 10 healthy...
