TH Rating for Breast Cancer Risk Assessment
Thermal Activity Scores are essential physiological biomarkers that go beyond the capabilities of basic thermographers.
The breast series consists of 7 to 11 images which are meticulously analyzed by a Board Certified Clinical Breast Thermologist to identify thermal findings such as significant temperature differences between the breasts, vascular asymmetries, and thermal patterns that may indicate cancer or other physiological activities.
,Each examination produces a Thermal Activity score or risk category for each breast, wherein a higher number correlates with an increased risk of developing breast cancer due to the number and severity of thermal findings. This risk assessment through Thermal Imaging allows for a straightforward numeric value, enabling you to monitor your cancer risk over time.
If you feel uneasy about your thermobiological level or notice it rising over time, we can explore potential risk factors presented in your images, educate you on probable causes, and offer actionable steps, tools, and resources for a healthier future.
Beyond Thermal Activity Scores, Preventive Thermography evaluates the hormonal and estrogen balance in the breasts using a Vascular Display Grade on a scale of 0 to 4.
Each breast receives a TH number on the established scale.
TH1 – Lowest Risk; TH2 – Low Risk – These categories represent the lowest and low thermobiological risk of developing cancer. For women over 30 years of age, a 12-month thermal imaging follow-up is advised.
Clients are encouraged to adhere to their doctor’s recommendations regarding breast screening and to maintain a healthy lifestyle. TH3 – Medium Risk – This category indicates a medium thermobiological risk of developing breast cancer.
Early thermal imaging follow-up is suggested to monitor signs of stability or change, typically at 6 months, and if subsequent imaging shows stability, a standard 12-month follow-up is usually recommended.
Clients should follow their doctor’s recommendations about breast evaluations, maintain healthy lifestyles, and explore opportunities to reduce risk factors with a qualified health provider.
TH4 – High Risk; TH5 – Highest Risk – These classifications reflect a high and highest thermobiological risk of developing breast cancer.
Early thermal imaging follow-up is recommended, typically at 3 months, to differentiate between transient benign conditions, such as infection or inflammation, and cancerous conditions, as the average doubling time for active cancer is 3 months.
Clients are strongly urged to consult their doctor for further evaluation, and when all anatomical examinations are normal, clients are advised to optimize their risk factors and consider proactive efforts or treatments under the guidance of a qualified or functional health provider.
