Revolutionary Breast Cancer Screening with NIRAMAI – Powered by AI

Early, Accurate & Non-Invasive Detection for Every Woman

Breast cancer is currently the most common cancer and the leading cause of cancer-related deaths among women in India. Early detection is critical—when caught early, breast cancer is highly treatable and survival rates are significantly higher.

At Onco-Life Cancer Centre, we are proud to introduce the NIRAMAI Breast Cancer Screening Test – Thermalytix®, an AI-powered, non-contact, and radiation-free technology that enables early-stage detection of breast cancer, especially in women under 40 and those with dense breast tissue.

What is Thermalytix®?

Thermalytix® is a cutting-edge Computer-Aided Diagnostic engine developed by NIRAMAI Health Analytix. It uses:

  • A high-resolution thermal sensing device to capture breast heat patterns.
  • An AI-based cloud software to analyze these thermal images and identify abnormal temperature variations linked to cancer growth—even before a lump forms.

This innovative technique is backed by clinical studies and has shown to be:

  • More accurate than mammography in women with dense breasts (25% higher sensitivity)
  • Effective for women of all ages, especially those under 40 who are often not advised mammography due to radiation concerns.
  • Radiation-free, pain-free, and completely private
Why Choose Thermal Screening?
  • Totally non-invasive – No touch, no pain, and no compression.
  • Highly accurate – Up to 91% sensitivity and 82% specificity as per published clinical studies.
  • Privacy-sensitive – Conducted in complete comfort and privacy by trained female staff.
  • No radiation exposure – Safe for frequent and early screenings, unlike mammography.
  • Ideal for younger women – Effective even for dense breast tissue.
Making Early Detection Accessible for All

Thanks to the generous support of Panbai Welfare Foundation, this life-saving screening service is offered free of cost at Onco-Life Cancer Centre. This initiative reflects our shared commitment to women’s health, early cancer detection, and community welfare.

Who Should Get Screened?

Most Popular Questions

Cancer Thermal Screening – Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

1. What is thermal screening for cancer?

Thermal screening is a test that uses a special camera to check for unusual heat patterns in your body. These heat patterns can help detect early signs of cancer, especially breast cancer.

2. How does thermal screening work?

Your body naturally gives off heat. If there’s a lump or unusual tissue (like cancer), it may produce more heat. The thermal camera captures this, and special software checks for signs of possible cancer.

3. Is it painful or uncomfortable?

Not at all! There are no needles, no touching, and no machines pressing your body. It’s completely non-invasive and pain-free.

4. Is it safe?

Yes, thermal screening is 100% safe. It uses no radiation or harmful chemicals, so there are no side effects.

5. Is it accurate?

Yes, especially for younger women or women with dense breasts, it can be more accurate than traditional tests like mammograms. The AI software helps spot issues early.

6. How long does the test take?

The entire process takes about 15 to 20 minutes. You simply sit in a room for thermal images to be taken.

7. Do I need to remove my clothes?

You will be asked to remove clothes only from the upper body in a private setting, as the thermal images of the chest area need to be taken. No one touches you, and your privacy is fully respected.

8. Who should get thermal screening?

It’s recommended for all women above 30 years, especially if:

  • You have a family history of breast cancer
  • You feel a lump or discomfort
  • You want a safe, regular screening method

9. Can it detect cancer in men?

Yes, though rare, men can also get breast cancer, and thermal screening can help detect it early.

10. Is it a replacement for mammograms or other tests?

No. It’s a complementary screening tool. If it finds something unusual, the doctor may advise further tests like a mammogram or biopsy.

11. How soon will I get the results?

Usually, you’ll receive the report in 24 to 48 hours. A doctor will guide you on the next steps if anything suspicious is found.

12. Is this service free at Onco-Life Cancer Centre?

Yes! At Onco-Life Cancer Centre, this service is completely free of cost, with support from the Panbai Welfare Foundation.
