Breast Cancer-Sensing Bra Detects Tumors Years Before Some Mammograms
Breast cancer kills an estimated 39,500 women a year; yet if it's detected early enough, the five-year survival rate is over 95 percent. Now, the new Breast Tissue Screening Bra provides women continuous screening in the comfort of their own clothes. In over three clinical trials, the bra correctly identified 92.1 percent of tumors, compared to the 70% accuracy of routine mammograms. More importantly, the bra measures subtle, longitudinal changes in skin temperature that can indicate a tumor as many as 6 years before a traditional screening would detect it.Original Link: http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/Techcrunch/~3/K66ZySzlD4E/
