Abstract
Survival statistics for breast cancer have been stalemated for 30 years, principally because cancer is not detected early enough. Breast examination by the patient is important, but we must not depend too heavily on this method. Physicians should examine periodically the breasts of all women over 35 years of age and supplement the examination with other methods of detection. Three ancillary methods are discussed: mammography, thermography and xeroradiography.Keywords
