Thermography in Breast Cancer Diagnosis

This study aims to analyse an impact immunohystochemical (IHC) factors have on thermography findings depending on IHC phenotype of invasive breast tumor. Protein HER-2 status, as a prognostic and predictive factor, has so far not been a subject of thermographic tests. According to IHC profile of all parameters on temperature scale, going from the coldest to the warmest tumors group, an impact on measured temperatures was proportionate to an individual and common impact of the analysed IHC factors. According to the results of this study, the tumors that are thermographically warmer have poorer IHC parameters. Thermographically colder tumors could be represented by those with the best as well as by those with the worst prognostic IHC parameters.
