  • Title: [Thermography in ambulatory care of patients with breast cancer].
    Author: Mazurin VIa, Karmazina AA, Dudareva LA.
    Journal: Vopr Onkol; 1983; 29(8):22-5. PubMed ID: 6613063.
    Abstract:
    The paper deals with the results of a 5-year dynamic thermographic study carried out in 78 out-patients with breast cancer. Thermographic procedure offers a means of timely detection of recurrences and metastases (those into bones included). Its diagnostic value consists in that symptoms, recurrences and metastases detectable by its application develop at an earlier stage than those detected by X-ray techniques and before clinical manifestations of the disease. Thermographic procedure is used for monitoring application of chemotherapy and its timely modification. Since it is not time-consuming and is absolutely harmless it should be used on a large scale for monitoring the condition of breast cancer patients and the efficacy of their treatment.
