Write-on T-shirt becomes diagnostic tool in fight against breast cancer.
2004 NOV 4 - (NewsRx.com & NewsRx.net) -- The fight against breast cancer has a new weapon: powerful, yet as easy to use as slipping on a T-shirt.
The Mark for Life breast self-exam kit includes a unique form-fitting T-shirt with printed diagrams that guide the wearer's hand motions. With the enclosed pen, women can mark the location of any lumps right on the shirt, enabling a comparison from month to month. Lumps, bumps and knots are normal, but a doctor should be alerted to any changes, and the Mark for Life shirt makes detecting variations simple.
Discovered early, breast cancer has a 96% survival rate, and 70% of all lumps are found through breast self-exams. Developed with oncologist Alan Marks, medical director at Regional Consultants in Hematology and Oncology, the Mark for Life patent-pending T-shirt is a stretchy cotton/spandex blend, and is sold according to bra size.
