Monitor in a Bra Measures Breast Cancer Progression

“A team in Nottingham Trent University’s (NTU) Medical Technologies Innovation Facility is working to create the technology which will use a form of electrical current that can scan and detect tiny changes in fluids inside and outside of the cells. Tumour tissue is more dense than healthy tissue and contains less water, so the device will be able to measure tumour changes and growth – down to as little as 2mm. It is hoped the non-invasive technology – which the researchers say could be used as an insert into a patient’s bra or potentially developed as a new bra incorporating the device – would be used alongside treatment and other regular checks and scans.” MORE
