Intelligent bra for early detection of breast cancer

Abstract

The invention relates to a novel intelligent bra for early detection of breast cancer. The intelligent bra carries ultra-high sensitive computer micro-processing chips, which include temperature sensor, blood flow sensors, oxyhemoglobin quantity sensors and the like for all-round acquisition of breast tissue temperature, blood flow and the hemoglobin amount. The device saves periodically collected data in a computer through a wireless transmission system, and automatically analyzes and alarms whether carcinogenesis possibility exists in breasts.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a novel smart bra that can detect breast cancer early. Background technique [0002] Breast cancer is one of the most common malignant tumors in women around the world. According to WHO statistics, there are about 1.3 million new cases of breast cancer in the world every year, accounting for 20-30% of female malignant tumors, and the annual mortality rate is nearly 40%. Berry research shows that the mortality rate of breast cancer is clearly related to early detection. Breast carcinoma in situ can be cured almost 100%. The 5-year survival rate of stage I breast cancer is 97%, that of stage II breast cancer is 75%, and that of stage III breast cancer is only 45%. It can be seen that early diagnosis and early detection of breast cancer are the key to improving the survival of breast cancer patients, improving the cure rate of breast cancer and reducing mortality. Its importance far surpasses the mid-to-late stage treatment that...

Problems solved by technology

[0003] In recent decades, medical researchers around the world have been working hard to find methods for early detection of breast cancer. Commonly used clinical examinations include: 1. Clinical breast examination. It is an economical and practical means for breast cancer screening in asymptomatic women. The detection rate is only 0.1%-0.5%, and early breast cancer only accounts for 50%, which shows its limitations

2. Mammography: According to a joint study by the American Cancer Society and the National Cancer Institute, mammography can detect 59% of non-invasive breast cancers with a diameter of less than 1cm and 53% of invasive breast cancers. At present, mammography has become the "gold standard" for early detection of breast cancer, but it is poor in developing dense breasts and premenopausal women, and the detection rate is lower. Secondly, radiation has certain damage to the human body, so it should not be used repeatedly

The peak age of breast cancer incidence in my country is 40-49 years old, which makes mammography less sensitive and specific for breast cancer detection in my country

3. Breast ultrasound: it has the advantages of non-radioactive, convenient, cheap, and satisfactory display of dense breasts, but it is only of high diagnostic value for breast cancer after mass formation, and is less sensitive for breast cancer without visible mass poor specificity

4. Breast MRI: In recent years, breast MRI has been proven to be more sensitive for the early detection of occult breast cancer, especially for premenopausal women, but its specificity is poor, only 75%, and the false positive rate is high

And the inspection operation is complex, time-consuming and expensive

Not suitable for early breast cancer screening
