BREAST-i Breast Transillumination

Doctors agree that EARLY DETECTION of BREAST CANCER provides up to 99% chance of recovery, yet breast cancer remains the #1 cancer and #1 most frequent cancer death among women in Singapore.

WHY SO? One key reason is that BREAST CANCER is being detected a little TOO LATE! An aggressive cancerous breast tumour can grow from 'nothing' to become 'walnut-sized' in as little as 2 to 3 months. This alone warrants MONTHLY SELF CHECKS for early discovery of suspicious breast lumps.

Traditionally, monthly checks are only done through palpation (hand feel method). Most do not know that palpation, even when conducted by a well-trained and experienced clinical breast examiner, has a SENSITIVITY of only 73%, and much less for regular women. This means that 27% of the time (and much more for regular women), the examiner (or regular women) is missing suspicious breast lumps especially those that are too small to be felt (impalpable and assumed to be absent) or are deeply embedded in the breast (also assumed to be absent). Naturally, large, dense and lumpy breasts make discovering suspicious breast lumps all the more challenging for anyone.

Palpation is dependent on knowledge, technique and experience, and the scariest part is, it is DEPENDENT on suspicious breast lumps being LARGE ENOUGH TO BE FELT! Being LARGE ENOUGH simply means giving breast cancer time to grow - no thank you!

BREAST-i was designed specifically for everyday women and even clinical breast examiners to have an easy, comfortable, proven and credible means of discovering potentially cancerous breast lumps just by using light. Used on its own, BREAST-i has a SENSITIVITY of 92.3%. If used after palpation as means to confirm palliative procedure, the SENSITIVITY is 96%. BREAST-i is safe and takes only several minutes per breast done in the comfort and privacy of home by yourself, reducing the chance of not discovering potential cancerous breast lumps to as low as 4%.

What the hand misses, BREAST-i closes the gap to discover - ensuring the EARLIEST DETECTION of potentially cancerous breast lumps at HOME - saving breast and lives!

DID YOU KNOW the majority of women aren't seriously checking for breast lumps? This is a key reason for breast cancer being the #1 cancer death among women.

Some reasons why women aren't seriously checking for breast lumps:
1) We think breast cancer won't happen to us;
2) Breast cancer affects only older women;
2) We aren't sure how to feel for breast lumps ourselves;
3) It is embarrassing having a doctor check for us;
4) Mammography is unsuitable for under 40s;
5) Breast compression in mammography is painful; and
6) Mammography radiation increases the risk of cancer.

For these reasons and more, BREAST-i Breast Transillumination was created to empower women to make self-checks that is Quick (a few minutes for each breast); Radiation-free and Safe; Allows for Frequent Checks (no limitation); Pain-free; Clinically-proven; and, Effective for 20 years and above.

BREAST-i possesses the ONLY safe and effective technology available for the earliest detection of potentially cancerous breast lumps at home. The earliest detection and diagnosis of breast cancer presents a high chance of recovery.

Medical transillumination is a decades-proven, light-based technology that illuminates body tissue to allow for internal visualisation of abnormalities. BREAST-i is a compact and hand-held transillumination device for professional- and home-use. Proven in clinical trials involving over 12,000 women, it is capable of allowing women to detect impalpable and/or deeply-embedded potentially cancerous breast lumps even in dark-skinned, large, dense and lumpy breasts.
