Bra against breast cancer
The principle of operation of such a diagnostic bra with temperature sensors can be summarized as a non-invasive dynamic temperature analysis of the breast tissue. The basis of the concept that fundamentally new method of diagnosis is taken the results of the study Chronomics, in which we studied the effects of time on living systems and biological rhythms.
Angiogenic activity is the growth of new blood vessels – register is accompanied by a change in temperature of the tissue. At each stage of the transformation from normal to hyperplasia and then to atypical hyperplasia, cancer in situ (preinvasive cancer) and invasive tumor tissue becomes typical temperature profile.
Once the tumor reaches a diameter of a few millimeters, further growth of the cell population is impossible without the formation of new capillaries. Most of the vessels formed in the zone of malignancy, have no smooth muscle layer and, accordingly, devoid of innervation, which makes them insensitive to the hormone adrenaline. This insensitivity ensures the stability of blood flow and a decrease in the amplitude of daily temperature fluctuations in the tumor compared with the surrounding normal tissue. Company specialists developed the software allows to analyze these changes with an accuracy of 90% to detect deviations in the condition of the breast tissue.
The purpose of the "smart" bra is improving the efficiency of clinical examination of the breast and reduce the number of unnecessary mammograms, biopsies and other screening and diagnostic procedures. The developers say that the First Warning System Breast bioinformatic algorithms are self-learning and the results of their work improved after the analysis of each new case.
Unfortunately, despite all the advantages of Breast First Warning System, the Office of the food and drug administration of the United States is opposed to the use of thermography as an alternative to traditional mammograms. However, the developers plan to in the next year to start the supply of diagnostic bras on the European market, and in 2014 – and on the US market.
