Role of Growth Hormone in Breast Cancer
"Breast cancer is one of the most common cancers diagnosed in women. Approximately two-thirds of all breast cancers diagnosed are classified as hormone dependent, which indicates that hormones are the key factors that drive the growth of these breast cancers." Endocrinology, Volume 158, Issue 6, 1 June 2017, Pages 1543–1555, https://doi.org/10.1210/en.2016-1928
Several hormones can play a role in the development of breast cancer, particularly those involved in the regulation of the reproductive system. The primary hormones associated with breast cancer risk are:
-
Estrogen​
-
Progesterone
-
Prolactin
-
Insulin and Insulin-like Growth Factors (IGFs)
-
Androgens (e.g., testosterone)​​​
Some of the organ systems that produce hormones that affect breast health
Hypothalamus & Pituitary Gland
These regulate many reproductive and growth hormones that affect the breast.​
​
Ovaries
The ovaries are key players in breast development and cyclical changes throughout life.​
​
Adrenal Glands
Produce small amounts of androgens and cortisol, which can affect breast tissue.​
​
Pancreas
Not directly a breast hormone, but insulin resistance and high insulin levels are linked to higher breast cancer risk.​​

And many more
The standard medical model for breast evaluation is by imaging with different radiographic technologies. Thermography looks instead to find the cause of changes on a functional level. Breast tissue is comprised of mostly lymphatic tissue. We offer the most comprehensive evaluation of the lymphatic system, and all contributing organs and systems.
Thermography is a better alternative to mammography because it is a non-invasive, radiation-free method that detects heat patterns and blood flow in body tissues, potentially identifying abnormalities earlier than structural changes detected by mammograms. It can be especially useful for women with dense breast tissue, where mammograms may be less effective. Additionally, thermography involves no compression of the breast, making it a more comfortable and safer option for frequent screening.
This example breast evaluation from a thermography exam provides insight not only into breast health but also into overall organ function and systemic physiological activity. Our certified practitioners are highly trained in interpreting thermographic results and are dedicated to helping you understand your body’s health. They will also work with you to develop a personalized, long-term wellness plan tailored to your unique needs.
Thermography: early insight, whole-body wellness.
