risk in women known to have the BRCA1/2 mutation who are exposed to repeated radiation before age 30. And 3D mammography does indeed expose women to higher levels of radiation, according to a 2011 article in Radiology Today, which explained, "Because the digital breast tomosynthesis (DBT) exam requires two additional exposures over a standard mammogram, the total radiation dose from the combined 2D and tomosynthesis examination is three times that of a standard mammogram." The Thermography Option The reality is every woman has a unique risk profi le based on her family history and risk factors, BRCA1/BRCA2 mutation, environmental exposures and lifestyle, and every detection tool offers distinct advantages and disadvantages. Mammography, ultrasound, MRI and other structural imaging tools focus on fi nding physical tumors, while the technology known as thermography uses digital infrared imaging to detect physiological changes in the breast, such as heat produced by increased blood vessel circulation; and metabolic changes associated with tumor development and growth. Some experts now recommend that women have both a mammogram and thermogram. A study of 58,000 patients over 12 years by French thermography researchers Michel Gautherie, PhD, and Charles M. Gros, MD, found 1,245 anomalies that had not been picked up by conventional means, including mammography, and suggested that an abnormal thermogram was 10 times more signifi cant as a future risk indicator for breast cancer than having a history of breast cancer in your family. Renowned women's health care advocate Dr. Christiane Northrup, an ardent supporter of thermography, notes: "Studies show that a thermogram identifi es precancerous or cancerous cells earlier, produces unambiguous results (which cuts down on additional testing) and doesn't hurt the body. Isn't this what women really want?" Considering I've had several false positives from mammograms, and taking into account my particular genetic considerations, it's certainly what I want, and that's why I've gone against the advice of the FDA and opted out of regular mammograms. It's an individual decision, and until experts reach consensus on the best breast cancer screening protocol, most agree that women should work with their health care providers to determine their unique risk profi le and optimal multi-pronged approach.
