Mammograms Beat Thermography for Breast Cancer Detection ...

FRIDAY May 4, 2012 -- Thermography -- a breast cancer detection method touted by some as a substitute for mammography -- is an unreliable cancer screen, according to new research.

In a study of about 180 women, thermography missed about 50 percent of cancers and delivered too many false positives, said Dr. C.M. Guilfoyle, a researcher at Bryn Mawr Hospital in Pennsylvania.

The radiation-free screening method uses computer software to measure and compare thermal abnormalities in the breasts and create a breast "map" to look for signs of developing breast cancer. The thinking is that increased temperature is found in areas with increased blood flow, and that may indicate a tumor.

Researchers evaluated the technique, marketed as the No Touch Breast Scan, on the breasts of women undergoing biopsies after they had suspicious findings on other imaging exams.

"I think we are still trying to determine the role of thermography as a breast cancer screening tool," Guilfoyle said. The technology she used was often not able to tell the difference between malignant and benign lesions, she said.

Guilfoyle is expected to present the findings Friday at the American Society of Breast Surgeons' annual meeting in Phoenix.

The test, as its name suggests, involves no physical contact. It is available in the New York City area, and may expand to other locations soon, said Barbara Zimmerly, a company spokeswoman.

It costs about $150, and it is not covered by insurance at this time. "The test is 88 percent accurate, according to the latest study," Zimmerly said.

Guilfoyle, however, found less accuracy in her evaluation of women with abnormal radiologic findings between October 2009 and May 2011.

For the study, each woman had a thermography test before a tissue biopsy, and Guilfoyle compared the final tissue pathology results with the thermography results. Each breast was interpreted as positive or negative for cancer based on the thermography results.

The healthy breast also was examined with thermography. Two models of the thermography scan were used. One focused on minimizing false negative results; the other focused on minimizing anxiety-provoking false positives.

Depending on which scan model was used, thermography missed about half of all cancers or had an unacceptably high number of false positives when compared to pathology reports on the abnormal breasts, according to the study.

The researchers also found that 47 percent of the normal breasts got a false positive reading on the thermography scan.

The role of thermography is still evolving, said Dr. Kimberly Lovett, attending physician at Southern California Permanente and an investigator at the University of California-San Diego Center for Patient Safety.

Lovett has written about the dangers of online ads that tout thermography as the sole method of breast cancer detection.

"I would tell women that thermography continues to be studied, and the technology will hopefully improve over time," she said. "However, at this time, thermography should absolutely not be used as an alternative to screening mammogram or as an alternative to breast biopsy in the presence of a positive mammogram."

If a woman has a suspicious lesion on a mammogram, the follow-up methods should be an ultrasound or biopsy, or both, Lovett said.

Mammography remains the gold standard for detecting breast cancer, Lovett said. The American Cancer Society agrees that thermography is not a substitute for mammography.

Data and conclusions presented at meetings should be considered preliminary until published in a peer-reviewed medical journal.

Guidelines for the Patients of Cosmetic Surgery ... - Profound Health

The person who is interested to perform the cosmetic surgery Michigan should take some factors under consideration. He should make some research over the type of cosmetic surgery that he wants to do. One should inspect about the portfolio of patient?s pictures that they have done and also about their speciality on a particular area. For example, some surgeons may be a specialist in breast implant and some may be in the liposuction. He can also research about the surgeon by thoroughly looking at the profile of the surgeon. The surgeon should be trained enough like Dr. Eric Seiger to conduct the surgical procedure. In some cases, it is found that lack of proper training may generate difficulties during the process of surgery or sometimes after the operation. So, one should be clearly known with all the aspects of the surgeon with whom one is going to perform the cosmetic surgery.

The pre-operation consultation is an important thing that the patient should go for. It should be remembered that the respectable and the good surgeon will solve all the queries happily, encourage one to ask questions and even provide assistance if the patient need psychological support in some cases. Price is a crucial factor in case of deciding about the cosmetic surgery Michigan. But, the patient should be prepared to spend more money in this case as the high price guaranties for the best services. The risk factors associated with it should also be an important consideration for the patient. He should tell the doctor about all the medicines he is taking and about her allergic reaction to various medicines.

Things are really heating up for the summer movie season. We've got the release of "Marvel's The Avengers" this week, "Battleship" soon after and the very buzz-worthy action adventure "Snow White and the Huntsman" arrives June 1, marking the debut of Kristen Stewart as an action star.

MTV News is very proud to announce that we will be offering fans an exclusive first look at the film via "MTV First: Snow White and the Huntsman" on Tuesday, May 8. Stewart and co-stars Charlize Theron, Chris Hemsworth and Sam Claflin will be live on MTV's airwaves at 7:56 p.m. ET to premiere the exclusive clip, after which they will stick around for a Q&A on MTV.com hosted by MTV News' Josh Horowitz. Fans can get in on the action by submitting their reactions to the clip in the comments section or on Twitter (using @MTVNews, hashtag #MTVFirst). During "MTV First," the four stars will also answer your Twitter questions and dish on the very latest news.

In order to help tide you over until the big reveal next week, here's a little interview snippet from Stewart in which she discusses her preparation for mastering the English accent required for her role as the titular Snow White.

"I worked on it for a while, so I was really lucky, I didn't have to jump right in," Stewart said of her ample pre-production time. "I would have been terrified [if I had to jump in], so I felt really confident with it when I went into it. I didn't feel like I was attached to specific lines and stuff, which I would kill myself if I felt that I had to know exactly what I was going to say."

Stewart has received rave reviews for her performance from director Rupert Sanders.

"Kristen is a very driven, visceral, intuitive actress. From a director's point of view, it's great to get into her headspace," Sanders told MTV News. "We did a lot of work together on the script and character, and she really helped inform me how that character was feeling, which really helped my process getting the character onscreen. Kristen was doing a lot of her stunt work, she was riding horses, she was jumping from high precipices into freezing cold water, she was fighting dwarves — she's gung-ho."

Don't miss "MTV First: Snow White and the Huntsman" on Tuesday, May 8, at 7:56 p.m. on MTV, followed by a Q&A with Kristen Stewart, Charlize Theron, Chris Hemsworth and Sam Claflin on MTV.com!
