Did you know that breast cancers grow faster in younger women?

Women of all ages can benefit from breast thermography. This radiation-free screening is especially appropriate for women, ages 25 - 50, whose denser breast tissue makes mammography less effective. It fills the gap in this age group where women are left without a safe breast screening available to them. 

Thermography plays a role in early detection of breast disease by monitoring for abnormal physiological changes. Since it takes years for a tumor to grow, the sooner young women begin to make breast thermography part of their yearly health screening, the better their chances for early detection and even prevention.

Here is some information to help put it all into perspective...

Unfortunately, breast cancer is a reality among women of all ages. Presently, there is no miracle cure. The current screenings used have failed to provide women with early enough detection. Breast thermography makes up for these shortcomings by providing a screening that not only aids in earlier detection but can actually guide us toward prevention. All women should consider themselves candidates for this invaluable annual screening!
