Summary:
Breast cancer can cause focal temperature increase on the breast skin due to
vasodilatation mediated by NO secretion from cancer cells. Our study is to evaluate this
situation and to assess the diagnostic efficacy of infrared imaging (thermography)on
breast cancer.
Detailed description:
Malignant breast neoplasms can secrete NO to induce focal vasodilatation and increased
blood flow and angiogenesis to the tumor, thus increase the focal temperature, which can
be evaluated by breast thermography (infrared imaging). We will evaluate the efficacy of
infrared imaging for detection and diagnosis of breast cancer, and if infrared imaging
can effectively differentiate malignant from benign breast dieases and the sensitivity,
specificity, false-negative rate will also be estimated.
