Risks of online advertisement of direct-to-consumer thermography for breast cancer screening.

Kimberly M Lovett1, Bryan A Liang.   

Abstract

Direct-to-consumer online advertising for thermography as a sole agent with which to diagnose breast cancer is misleading and exploits women who are seeking preventive health care for breast cancer. Regulatory action should be taken against companies who continue to mislead the public to ensure patient safety and evidence-based public health information.
