The problem in medicine today, as it has been, is that no emphasis is put into prevention. The reason is very simple, doctors were never educated in prevention. The “business” of medicine is fueled by the pharmaceutical companies, according to some estimates 55% of each dollar spent on medicine in the USA goes to pay for drugs. This is one of the main reasons that the cost of medical care in the USA is the highest in the world, amounting for 16% of GNP.
Cancer Prevention: Explore the benefits of state of the art Thermography. This modality is painless and can diagnose early Angiogenesis (formation of new blood vessels which are formed as a result of tumor stimulation) that emits more infra-red waves (hot spot) that will be picked up by the IR (Infrared) camera.
This modality has no radiation (unlike mammography) and does not cause breast trauma due to breast tissue compression (like mammography) which, in it self, is a risk factor for developing breast cancer.
Most importantly, it quantifies the risk for developing breast cancer and therefore encourages you to use the “Prevention Protocol” to reduce the risk, thereby, preventing cancer.
Dr. Dekel is the only Board Certified OB-GYN and Breast Thermography in the Tri-State area.
