 遠紅外線乳房熱像儀的四大功能

 

第一: 在乳腺癌可能在發展的早期徵兆 ~ 

血管生成？

血管生成或新血管的形成，是維持腫瘤生長的必要條件。乳房熱成像可能提供這種額外血管生成的第一個信號。

(EARLY SIGNS THAT A BREAST CANCER MAY BE DEVELOPING "Angiogenesis?" Angiogenesis, or new blood vessel formation, is necessary to sustain the growth of a tumor. Breast thermography may be the first signal that such a possibility is developing.)

第二: 個性化的乳癌風險評估 ~
乳房熱成像可評估妳個人在乳癌的風險？

有乳癌家族史肯定有較高的風險，但仍然有75％乳癌的女性卻沒有家族史，因此，乳房熱成像有為所有女性提供未來風險評估的能力，如果乳房熱成像檢查結果異常，乳癌的未來風險比有家族史的女性還要高。熱成像提醒女性可能擁有其它危險因子，需要較積極接受短期追蹤或年度定期乳房檢查，以確保乳房健康。

(INDIVIDUALIZED BREAST CANCER RISK ASSESSMENT "Are you personally at greater risk for breast cancer?" Women with a family history are definitely at greater risk, but 75% of women who get breast cancer have no family history of the disease. Regardless of your family history, if a thermogram is abnormal you run a future risk of breast cancer that is 10 times higher than a first order family history of the disease. Thermography has the ability to provide women with a future risk assessment. If discovered, certain thermographic risk markers can warn a woman that she needs to work closely with her doctor with regular checkups to monitor her breast health.)

第三:可能發揮預防乳癌 的作用在 ~
乳房熱成像可反應體內雌激素影響乳房的狀態？

發生乳癌的顯著危險因素，是與女性生活中接觸雌激素的程度有關，正常且平衡的內分泌激素確實是預防乳癌的重要一步。某些熱成像跡象可示女性乳房受激素影讏的作用如何，成為提醒醫生的第一個訊號，您的醫生會為妳安排更多的檢查來確實，如果結果為陽性，你的醫生可能會安排乳房熱成像來監控治療效果。

( A POSSIBLE ROLE IN BREAST CANCER PREVENTION "Thermal signs of hormone effects?" Since a significant risk factor for the development of breast cancer is lifetime exposure to certain hormones, normalizing the balance of the hormones in the breast may be an important step in prevention. Certain thermographic signs may suggest the effects of hormones in the breasts. This may be the first marker that alerts your doctor to this possibility. Your doctor will first need to run further tests to confirm this. If these tests are positive, your doctor may use these tests to monitor your care.)

第四: 適合年輕女性的檢查方法~
你知道嗎? 15％女性乳癌患者發生在45歲以下？

在45歲以下這一組年齡的女性中，乳癌是最常見的癌症。年輕女性的乳癌，往往更具侵犯性和更差的存活率。乳房熱成像提供年輕女性更有價值的檢査工具，她們可以在20歲開始，把乳房熱成像加到她們定期做乳房健康檢查的項目中，提高篩檢的敏感度。

( IMAGING FOR YOUNGER WOMEN "Do you know that approximately 15% of all breast cancers occur in women under 45?" This is the most common cancer in women in this age group. Breast cancers in younger women are usually more aggressive and have poorer survival rates. Breast thermography offers younger women a valuable imaging tool that they can add to their regular breast health check-ups beginning with baseline imaging at age 20.)
