    Mastography is the most sensitive tool for early breast cancer detection. Combining physical examination, thermography, and mastography sequentially offers the best diagnostic results for breast pathology.

    Area of Science:

    • Oncology
    • Radiology
    • Medical Diagnostics

    Background:

    • Early detection of breast cancer is crucial for improving patient outcomes.
    • Various diagnostic modalities exist, each with varying effectiveness.
    • Assessing the combined diagnostic value of these methods is essential.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the diagnostic value of physical examination, thermography, and mastography in breast cancer detection.
    • To compare the sensitivity, specificity, and predictive value of individual and combined examination techniques.
    • To determine the optimal sequential program for breast cancer screening.

    Main Methods:

    • A study involving 1,313 women at a Breast Cancer Detection Service.
    • Estimation of sensitivity, specificity, and predictive value for physical examination, thermography, and mastography.

  • Analysis of a combined sequential examination program.

    • Main Results:

    • Mastography demonstrated the highest sensitivity and good specificity, making it suitable for early detection programs.
    • Thermography showed lower sensitivity and is not recommended as a primary screening tool but useful for high-risk follow-up.
    • Physical examination is vital for comprehensive breast pathology diagnosis.

    Conclusions:

    • Mastography is a key examination for early breast cancer detection.
    • A sequential combination of physical examination, thermography, and mastography yields the best diagnostic outcomes.
    • Thermography can supplement screening for specific cases, while physical exam remains essential.
