New bra warns against breast cancer

US scientists have invented a type of bra capable of warning breast cancer for wearers. This is considered the best and most useful underwear for women.

First Warning Systems uses small sensors that integrate with thermometers hidden in the shirt. These devices work to monitor changes in the surface temperature of the breast from which to give a warning if detecting that the wearer has signs of developing tumors.

The inventors believe that small changes in the surface temperature of the breast are signs that blood vessels are developing to supply blood to cancerous tissues. The shirt can detect tumors at the earliest stage before they can be identified by magnetic resonance imaging or other medical measures.

Test results on 650 women of all ages show that breast cancer can detect cancer up to 90% accurate compared to traditional X-rays.

The data that the sensor integrated in the shirt will be sent to the computer or mobile phone and then uploaded to the internet for analysis.

Expected products will be available in the European market next year. If approved by the FDA, the product will be available in the US market in 2014. The price of the product has not been disclosed.
