This is surely the great news for the ladies. A Smart Bra has been invented by Prof. Elias Siores, which makes use of thermography to detect little changes in temperature of the breast tissue to early find out the possibility of breast cancer before it spreading into surrounding areas. When tumors start to grow, there is a demand for higher blood flow. As a result, temperature will rise which signifies the initial stage of cancerous growth.
The Smart Bra will be equipped with a microwave antennae system, which can easily be woven into fabric. This super tiny atennae will be able to pick up any abnormal change in temperature in the breast tissue. The Smart Bra will also be incorporated with audible and visual alarms, which will emit two warnings to the wearers, audible or visual or both.
Some experts are worrried of the accuracy, which could result many false alarms, as they claim benign growths and nonmalignant inflammatory changes might also increase blood flow that would cause temperature rise too. Anyway, this is surely a great invention, at least there is something to warn you that something unusual is happening in your breasts and you must see the specialist if the warning persists. Prof. Elias Siores is the director of the Centre for Research and Innovation at the University of Bolton in the United Kingdom. So, ladies, do you think he deserves Nobel Prize for this great invention?

This is a topic that is very close to my heart and I am very impressed with the invention, i hope it is available for sale in Australia soon. A very dear friend of mine died in recent years of cancer, and she was very young, only 33. I have been looking into some new research completed by Newcastle University in Australia that was published this year on breast cancer and melanoma. If you know someone who is affected by cancer or yourself you might like to read some of the details on http://www.mc-s.com.au, or the way i found the site was to search in google for ‘metabolic cell support’. Hope that is helpful for someone. Thank you, Dr Jeff Aitkin

[...] A new breast cancer detection technology has surfaced, called Breast Specific Gamma Imaging (BSGI), which has been tested to yield better result in early detection of breast cancer. [...]
