Abstract
Breast cancer is among the leading causes of death in women between the ages of 25 and 65, with an expected incidence of 1 in 8 women in most countries. Research and early diagnosis remain the best way to reduce the number of deaths from breast cancer. However, there is some debate about the best method of screening patients for this disease. Mammography is currently the main screening study for the early detection of this disease. The USA. The Food and Drug Administration, along with many other national societies, still describe it as the most effective screening test for breast cancer. Yet some doctors have advocated using thermography as a diagnostic aid for the detection of breast cancer despite a lack of scientific evidence in their favor.
