The problem of early diagnostics of breast cancer in the context of screening checkup with the help of contact digital thermograph is discussed in this work. Out of 45 women with abnormal initial thermogram (which in comparison with the data of traditional methods had been interpreted as false alarm) under subsequent 2-3-year observation breast cancer was recognized at 5 (11,1%) of them. The results of this work are evidence of the ability of contact digital thermography for diagnostics of the earliest signs of malignization, when clinical manifestation of the disease is absent.
