title: [Contact thermography in the differential diagnosis of benign tumors and cancer of the breast].
abstract: Contact thermography was performed in 87 patients with benign and in 75 with cancerous tumours of the breast. Hyperthermia over the tumour is characterized by a 2.2 degrees C and higher increase of the temperature and was registered only in cancer of the breast. Anisothermy of the breast was characterized by a +/- 0.5 degrees C and higher and may be considered as a supplementary diagnostic sign distinguishing cancer of the breast from benign tumours.
