Abstract

At the present time when maximum information, obtained without practising an incision, on anomalies of the cervix take on the greater importance, thermivision provides novel data. Hot dysplasia was revealed to be true early cancer, cold dystrophy was near to hot subclinical cancer and "screened" in a way and picked up by routine thermovisual investigations. An elevated thermogenesis, even of a colposcopically benign lesion should maintain clinical alertness. Disagreement between the results of colposcopy, thermovision and cervico-uterine cytology, instead of leading to the rejection of these methods, must on the contrary make one look for the reasons for these divergences. D.T.T. in introducing new data, undoubtedly provides an element of uterine cervical physiology. Faced with an evident early cancer, study of the thermal emission enables one to precisely show the degree of local extension of this cancer and sometines its multifocal nature. It is an event, an approach to the physiology of malignancy. Furthermore it is remarkable to note the cooling after ionizing irradiation, rapid and complete cooling. D.T.T. is therefore called upon to take its place which is even greater as new non-mutilating therapeutic methods such as cry...Continue Reading
