The study does not point out the reasons for this phenomenon, and there are concerns about the representativeness of the sample used for the study. However, researchers want to study it further and call for linked national datasets.

FemTech Innovations: Wearable ultrasound scanner for breast cancer detection

MIT researchers created a wearable ultrasound scanner that can be inserted into a bra for continuous breast monitoring. Scientists hope the device can help reduce breast cancer mortality, which is nearly 0% when detected early, but about 75% in later stages.

The device is constructed as a patch that can be attached to a bra and can produce images of quality comparable to those made in medical centres. Such a device could protect women whose cancer develops between regularly scheduled mammograms.
