Thermal Breast Cancer Screening at ICTRC Onco-Life Cancer Centre, Wagholi
Early Detection. No Discomfort. No Cost.
Breast cancer is now the most common cancer among women in India, and sadly, one of the leading causes of cancer-related deaths. But here’s the good news: when detected early, breast cancer is highly treatable and even curable.
At ICTRC Onco-Life Cancer Centre, Wagholi, we are proud to offer a revolutionary screening test called Thermalytix, powered by NIRAMAI — an advanced, AI-based breast screening technology that is non-invasive, radiation-free, and completely private.
And the best part?
This screening is available absolutely free of cost, thanks to the generous support of the Panbai Welfare Foundation.
What is Thermalytix?
Thermalytix is an advanced breast screening solution that uses:
- A high-resolution thermal camera (to capture heat patterns from the body)
- Artificial Intelligence (AI) (to analyze those patterns and identify potential abnormalities)
It does not involve any physical contact, compression, or exposure to radiation — making it one of the most comfortable and safe breast cancer screening tools available today.
How Does the Test Work?
- You sit comfortably in a private, temperature-controlled room.
- A trained female technician uses a thermal camera to take a few images of your upper body (fully non-contact).
- The images are uploaded to a secure cloud-based system powered by AI.
- The AI engine analyzes the thermal patterns and detects any unusual changes that may suggest a risk of breast cancer.
- Our doctors review the report and guide you on next steps, if needed.
Time taken: Just 10–15 minutes
Privacy: 100% contactless and modesty-friendly
Accuracy: More accurate than mammography in younger women with dense breast tissue

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.
