MammaCare's Tactually Accurate Breast Model Trains Sense of Touch to Detect Small Tumors

Scientists Create New Breast Model to Teach Women More Effective Self-Examination


GAINESVILLE, Fla., March 31, 2009 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Drs. M.K. Goldstein and H.S. Pennypacker, members of the U.S. research team that created and validated standards for effective manual breast examination, today announced development of a new tactually accurate, personal breast model for women that teaches their fingers what to feel for while pacing the duration of each breast palpation. Advances in polymer chemistry led the team to develop an accurate, affordable breast model containing small, simulated tumors and normal breast lumpiness. A learning program on DVD teaches the difference between normal breast tissue and potentially harmful tumors, how to search the model thoroughly and then how to transfer that skill to the breast. The scientists produced the new tactile technology and learning program with grant support from the National Cancer Institute. Dr. Mary Mehn, MammaCare's Director of Education, said, "More women will now be able to learn more effective breast self-examination, by themselves, as part of their personal healthcare routine." She added, "Most breast cancers are palpable and are initially found by the sense of touch. This means that proficient breast self-examination is truly a life saving practice." The new MammaCare Personal Learning System will be sold directly to women at Amazon.com's Health & Personal Care store.
