far more significant than a family history of the disease.

A dime sized tumor can take 8 to 10 years to grow. Breast Thermography can be the first signal that such a possibility is developing.
Every 2 minutes a women is diagnosed with breast cancer and every 13 minutes a women with breast cancer dies.
- Out of 3 million women in the U.S. living with breast cancer only 2 million are diagnosed, while 1 million women do not even know
they have breast cancer.
Studies show up to a 61% Increase in survival rate when Thermal Imaging and X-Ray Mammography are used together.
