Abstract
The temperature of a malignant tumour is a universal indicator of the growth rate of the tumor. Tumor temperature can be used as a prediction of the benefit of individual therapies and in monitoring the efficacy of breast cancer treatment. Provide systematic analysis of the data available in the current literature on the role of microwave thermometry in diagnosis of breast pathology, in assessing the effect of neoadjuvant therapy for breast cancer treatment, and in screening programs. Various aspects of the use of microwave thermometry in onco-mammology are described: the diagnostic value of the method, the possibilities in differential diagnosis of dyshormonal hyperplasias, benign and malignant tumors, the prognostic role of microwave, the possibility of using the method in assessing the effect of preoperative chemotherapy in locally advanced breast cancer. It is shown, that microwave thermometry is a highly informative method of early diagnosis of various breast pathologies and can be widely used in screening programs to form risk groups for subsequent diagnostics using traditional methods (ultrasound, x-ray mammography, breast MRI, morphology). Microwave thermometry helps to assess the effect of ongoing neoadjuvant therapy of the primary non-operative forms of breast cancer in order to correct the personalized treatment.
Highlights
Delays in diagnosis of breast cancer continue to be a problem in clinical practice that can only be solved currently by using complex and expensive invasive methodologies
Unlike the wellknown infrared thermography, which measures the temperature of the skin, microwave thermometry allows for the non-invasive detection of thermal anomalies at a depth of several centimeters under the skin
Modern diagnostic complexes like RTM-01-RES allow for the visualization of the thermal activity of tissues, both on the surface and inside the body. When it comes to the examination of the breast, the term "Microwave Thermography" is commonly used, along with other terms such as microwave radiometry technique or microwave radio thermometry
Summary
Delays in diagnosis of breast cancer continue to be a problem in clinical practice that can only be solved currently by using complex and expensive invasive methodologies. Microwave radiometry is a diagnostic method based on measurement of tissue radiation in the microwave range. Unlike the wellknown infrared thermography, which measures the temperature of the skin, microwave thermometry allows for the non-invasive detection of thermal anomalies at a depth of several centimeters under the skin. Modern diagnostic complexes like RTM-01-RES allow for the visualization of the thermal activity of tissues, both on the surface and inside the body. When it comes to the examination of the breast, the term "Microwave Thermography" is commonly used, along with other terms such as microwave radiometry technique or microwave radio thermometry. This technology has been certified in a number of countries, and approved as a standard of medical diagnostics
