Thermal Screening for Breast Cancer at TGH TGH Onco-Life Cancer Centre

Early Detection. Painless Process. Lifesaving Results.

Breast cancer continues to be one of the leading causes of cancer-related deaths among women — but early detection can make all the difference.

At TGH TGH Onco-Life Cancer Centre, we are proud to offer a modern, non-invasive, and highly accurate breast cancer screening tool known as Thermalytix, powered by NIRAMAI.

And the best part?
It’s completely free for all women — thanks to the generous support of the Panbai Welfare Foundation.

What is Thermalytix?

Thermalytix is a next-generation breast screening test that uses a high-resolution thermal (heat-sensing) camera and artificial intelligence (AI) to detect early signs of breast cancer — even before a lump is felt.

It works by capturing thermal images (heat patterns) from the breast and analyzing them using a powerful AI-based software to spot abnormal changes or unusual temperature variations which could be signs of cancer.

How is This Different From Mammography?

While mammography is the standard screening tool, it may not always be effective for women with dense breast tissues — especially those who are younger.

That’s where Thermalytix stands out:

25% more accurate in detecting cancer in dense breasts
No contact, no pain, no radiation
No physical exposure – the process is done with complete privacy
Safe for women of all age groups

What to Expect During the Screening?

The screening process is:

Completely non-touch – no one touches your body
You will be seated comfortably in a private, temperature-controlled room
A thermal camera will take a few images of your upper body from different angles — fully respecting your privacy
These images are sent securely to the AI analysis system
Results are interpreted by a trained medical team, and you are guided on the next steps if needed

Time Taken: The whole test takes less than 15 minutes

Who Should Get This Test?

We recommend this screening for:

Women above the age of 30 years
Women with a family history of breast cancer
Women who experience irregular breast changes, pain, or discomfort
Anyone looking for preventive breast health screening

You do not need to wait for symptoms. Early detection saves lives.

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.
