The most common way that conventional doctors look for the first
signs of breast cancer in women is to identify lumps in the breast. They
most often do this with mammogram x-rays. This offer physicians a basic
roadmap for navigating the terrain of breast tissue, which they believe
allows them to pinpoint any lumps, masses, or other warning signs of
breast cancer that might point to a malignancy.
But mammograms can be a potential cause of cancer
due to the ionizing radiation they send into breast tissue. They also
aren’t accurate 100 percent of the time, despite what you may have been
told. Lumps and masses in breast tissue can be either benign (harmless) or malignant (cancerous), and mammograms don’t differentiate between the two. This often leads to false diagnoses and unnecessary treatments with chemotherapy and radiation.
A better option, if you choose to undergo routine cancer screenings, is thermography.
This unique screening method allows doctors to not only look for
unusual lumps or growths, but look for other breast cancer symptoms in
women. This can include identifying whether or not angiogenesis is
taking place within the breast tissue, which is a much stronger and more
accurate indicator that breast cancer may be present.
Angiogenesis
is a fancy way of saying new blood vessel growth, which may reveal that
a woman’s body is trying to build a new supply system for blood to be
delivered to developing breast tumors. Doctors who specialize in
examining thermography images will be able to identify whether or not
angiogenesis is taking place, and suggest a proper course of action.
Other possible symptoms of breast cancer include:
- Swelling of all or part of a breast (even if no distinct lump is felt)
- Skin irritation or dimpling
- Breast or nipple pain
- Nipple retraction (turning inward)
- Redness, scaliness, or thickening of the nipple or breast skin
- Nipple discharge (other than breast milk)
