Breast cancer is the most common cancer among women. Being breast aware can help you identify any potential concerns for cancer. At Calgary Thermography and Women’s Health Clinic we offer breast thermography.

Early detection of breast cancer is important to every woman, regardless of risk factors. This is because of the nature of how cancer works; the earlier you detect breast cancer the smaller the cancer growth is. Studies have clearly shown the smaller the size of the breast cancer, the chances for long-term survival improves. Smaller breast cancer cases are less likely to have the cancer spread to lymph nodes, lungs, liver, bones and brain.

Females with smaller breast tissue as well as lumpy breast will be pleased to know that thermography can still help provide you with establishing a risk baseline assessment.

Thermography is beneficial for any females over 18 years old. A baseline thermography scan for all women by age 40 is recommended. Those who have “lumpy breast” or have a high risk of developing breast cancer should have a baseline at 35 years old.
