1. A method for detecting breast canter tissue in a human, comprising the steps of:
- a) providing a detection device for detecting periodic changes in spatial homogeneity of temperature in areas of a human breast; and
b) measuring, with the detection device, periodic changes in spatial homogeneity of temperature in areas of the human breast to thereby determine a likelihood of cancerous tissue in the human.

Abstract
The present invention comprises methods for cancer detection involving the measurement of temporal periodic changes in blood perfusion, associated with immune response, occurring in neoplastic lesions and their surrounding tissues. Particularly, the method for cancer detection involves the detection of non-neuronal thermoregulation of blood perfusion, periodic changes in the spatial homogeneity of skin temperature, aberrant oscillations of spatial homogeneity of skin temperature and aberrant thermoregulatory frequencies associated with periodic changes in the spatial homogeneity of skin temperature.
