Abstract (English): Background: Breast cancer (BC) is the most common cause of death in women aged 40 to 75 years. Infrared thermography (IT) has been proposed as a noninvasive test useful in the detection of BC. Objective: To analyze the results of IT in women with suspected BC. Material and methods: An analytical, observational, longitudinal, and prospective study was conducted. Women aged ≥ 15 years with suspected BC were included, with BI-RADS (Breast Imaging Reporting and Data System) 4. Prior to the biopsy, breast temperature was measured using 2 thermographic sensors. The histopathological results of the breast biopsy were recorded and classified as inflammatory lesions, fibrocystic breast disease, premalignant lesions, and malignant lesions. Results: A total of 104 women were analyzed, with BI-RADS 4A (64%), 4B (26%), and 4C (10%), and 4 were eliminated due to loss to follow-up. Mean age was 47.7 ± 12.2 years. 14% of cases showed a palpable lesion, with the right breast being the most affected (56%). The most common malignant lesion was ductal carcinoma (11%). The IT cutoff point for malignant lesion ≥ 33.4 °C showed a sensitivity of 0.69, specificity of 0.63, area under the curve (AUC) = 0.65 (95% confidence intervals [95% CI] 0.45-0.79), p = 0.03; with an odds ratio (OR) = 4.16 (95% CI 1.23-14.09), p = 0.01. Conclusion: The results of the IT showed moderate sensitivity and specificity for malignant lesions. The cutoff point ≥ 33.4 °C showed a 4-fold increased risk for malignancy. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
Abstract (Spanish): Introducción: el cáncer de mama (CM) es la causa más frecuente de muerte en mujeres de 40 a 75 años. Se ha propuesto la termografía infrarroja (TI) como examen no invasivo de utilidad en la detección del CM. Objetivo: analizar los resultados de la TI en mujeres con sospecha de CM. Material y métodos: estudio analítico, observacional, longitudinal y prospectivo. Se incluyeron mujeres ≥ 15 años con sospecha de CM, con BI-RADS (Breast Imaging Reporting and Data System) 4. Antes de tomar la biopsia, se midió la temperatura de las mamas mediante 2 sensores termográficos. Se registró el resultado histopatológico de la biopsia de mama y se clasificó como lesiones inflamatorias, mastopatía fibroquística, lesiones premalignas y lesiones malignas. Resultados: se analizaron 104 mujeres, con BI-RADS 4A (64%), 4B (26%) y 4C (10%); se eliminaron 4 por pérdida en el seguimiento. La edad media fue de 47.7 ± 12.2 años. Del total, 14% mostró lesión palpable y la mama derecha fue la más afectada (56%). La lesión maligna más frecuente fue el carcinoma ductal (11%). El punto de corte para lesión maligna de TI ≥ 33.4 ºC mostró sensibilidad de 0.69, especificidad de 0.63, área bajo la curva (AUC) = 0.65 (intervalo de confianza del 95% [IC 95%] 0.45-0.79), p = 0.03; con razón de momios (RM) = 4.16 (IC 95% 1.23-14.09), p = 0.01. Conclusión: los resultados de la TI mostraron sensibilidad y especificidad moderadas para lesiones malignas. El punto de corte ≥ 33.4 ºC mostró un riesgo mayor de 4 veces para malignidad.
