Early Detection Saves Lives
|
Cancer is typically a disease that develops slowly. It takes approximately 16 years from the first sign of cancer to the end stage disease. Thermography can detect cancers when they are at a minute physical stage of development, when it is still relatively easy to halt and reverse the progression of the cancer.
DITI's role in breast cancer and other breast disorders is to help in such early detection and monitoring of abnormal physiology and the establishment of risk factors for the development or existence of cancer. When used with other procedures, the best possible evaluation of breast health is made.
Early abnormalities found on DITI do not always mean breast cancer - but all breast cancers start as abnormalities.
DITI is invaluable as an early risk predictor. It has the amazing ability to reliably identify the vascular and metabolic abnormalities in the breasts that can develop into breast disease many years later.
Thermal Imaging is NOT for the detection of late stage breast cancer. It is used to PREVENT breast disease.
Prevention is a gift... Detection is not.
If cancer is found early, there are choices for treatment and with prompt treatment, the outlook is good. Breast cancers tend to grow significantly faster in younger women under age 50.
