Complex diagnosis of breast cancer
1984
: A comparison of the results of clinical, roentgenological, cytological and thermographic examination of breast cancer patients showed the X-ray procedure to be the most effective in making a reliable diagnosis. However, in advanced cases, and, particularly, with concomitant diffused hyperplasia of glandular or connective tissues of the breast, clinical and cytological examination should be preferred. Thermography should not be employed for early detection of breast cancer, since it gives a high percentage of false-negative and false-positive results. However, the best results assuring reliable diagnosis in 94.9% of cases are produced by a joint application of clinical, X-ray and cytological procedures.
