[Telethermography in the diagnosis of breast neoplasms. Report on the experience with 5198 studies].
Four-year experiences made in the course of 5198 examinations of the female breast with the help of telethermography are reported. Altogether 40 mamma carcinomas were found, 29 of them being cases in women over 50 years. Consequently, the participation of women older than 50 years in cancer screening must be considerably increased. Taking all diagnostic possibilities and their rates of failure into consideration, any sound method of early diagnosis of breast cancer, including telethermography, should be integrated into the available screening methods.
