N.16m ‘Smart Bra’ Detects bosom Cancer by solarmanng: 9:36am On Oct 30, 2012 |
A “smart bra” known as First Warning Systems could help women discover if they have breast cancer. Lifeline Biotechnologies, the medical technology company licensing the bra, says it is capable not only of identifying breast tissue abnormalities at their earliest stages, but can also identify the general location of such abnormalities in three dimensions to each of the four quadrants of each breast. The bra is based on a novel breast health screening device and method and could become available in Europe in 2013 and then in the United States of America in 2014, at US$ 1,000 (N160,000) for a pair. Preliminary studies with the novel bra conducted in more than 650 women, resulted in an average detection of at least 90 percent. Compared with the standard mammogram, the tests averaged 70 percent accuracy. Experts say while the bra is not intended as an additional step in the breast cancer screening process, it could be an accurate identifier of early breast abnormalities which generate heat via the presence of new blood vessels that nourish the area in question,” they noted. The bra, which would be worn at a physician’s office, has 16 colour-coded sensors that are taped to the patient’s breast. The sensors would then measure temperatures at programmed times over a predetermined testing period. The data is then stored in a recording device worn by the patient. Once the test period is over, the patient then submits the device to their doctor. The sensors are removed; the data is downloaded and then analysed. Once a report is returned to the physician, the patient will be called in to discuss any clinical recommendations. Based on what is described as “disruptive technology” and tissue health science, the new breast cancer detector could become a major breakthrough in making testing easier for women, however, medical experts say more studies are required before being actively used. “Most investigational medicines and medical devices, even those based on sound scientific and technical principles are not always adopted into clinical practice. He adds that once new products are rigorously tested in clinical trials, findings show they are less effective than current practices,” noted Dr. Ted Gansler, Director of Medical Content for the American Cancer Society. Gansler states that disregarding mammography would have harmful, serious effects. “A woman who chooses any breast cancer screening test based on thermography instead of mammography would be making a serious mistake that could have fatal consequences. Major medical and public health organizations all recommend mammography and none recommend thermography or any other tests based on temperature measurements for early detection of breast cancer.” Experts believe the bra could be used as part of an overall test without replacing mammography. However they stress need for more research and studies on long-term effects of the bra. “Mammograms and the bra just screen for breast cancer. The only way to actually detect breast cancer is through a biopsy where the specimen is found in the lab” they counsel. http://www.vanguardngr.com/2012/10/n0-16m-smart-bra-detects-breast-cancer/ |

Humans are developing day after day. A lot of surprises are still coming. Scientists are working day and night to develop things we have not seen before. We Africans are developing too but mostly in the Church. We want God to detect our own cancers and cure it for us. Mental Laziness and bad environment for work. 3 Likes |

Would't call this good news until final research is done and clinical trials are concluded. Truth is cancer detection is a tricky business especially in the early stages. Mammography is still the way to go...Wish they could come out with one pill that will destroy cancer cells rather than all those surgeries and chemotherapy but alas! no,.....that would be good news in my book. |

All these oyibo new-age inventions mostly have side effects... Mammography too has its own as its not reccommended for women at child-bearing age.... Way to go is still the biopsy like the article proferred.. Women,regular self breast-examination is highly recommended!! |

In every invention that took place there is always advantages that it behold also another problem discovered. In the past nothing like plane crash, autocrash, nuclear disorder this are problem of technology also in the past the worst disease that can inflict someone then is leprosy now leprosy is nothing but a bacteria disease that can be cured easily but still no hiv/aids, deadly cancer in the past. so one scientific cure to any ailment will lead to the invention of another horrible disease. So God is only one that can put stop to all this problem both in health sector and social life men will always try to be perfect but will forever remain imperfect no matter how intelligent |

The only way to destroy it is to destroy or remove the tissues completely. With time, they'll find less invasive way to tackle it. |

Though a good development, however, "gadgets" like this should be re-tested by capable professionals in Nigeria, before it finds its way into d commercial market. Who knows if the magic bra itself contains rays that might trigger cancerous cells to prove its efficacy. #justsayin |
