Abstract

Breast cancer is one of the diseases that most affects women worldwide due to its psychosocial impact. Currently, mammography is the most widely used method for early detection, but it is necessary to explore new techniques with greater sensitivity and efficiency. Although multiple studies have been conducted on the use of thermography, this study aims to identify the variables that must be taken into account in the analysis and characterization of thermographic images for the correct early detection of breast cancer. In this document, a scoping review was conducted, and data from the articles were compiled using a documentary matrix. The most relevant results in the synthesis obtained indicate that some physiological factors, such as age, body mass index (BMI), menstrual cycle, increased surface temperature, the existence of thermal asymmetries, angiogenesis, rapid cell metabolism, and breast density, can influence the interpretation of thermographic images. Thermography under regulated conditions and in combination with other methods is a promising tool for strengthening early detection protocols for breast cancer.
