Can this bra really detect cancer?

Imagine a world with no boob-smooshing mammograms, no feeling guilty about forgetting to do your self-exam, no worry over is-it-or-isn't-it, a world where screening for breast cancer is as easy as putting on your bra. That world doesn't exist yet, but at least someone envisions it. Researchers from the UK have developed a bra with an embedded microwave antennae that scans the breasts to detect breast cancer at the earliest stages, when it's most curable.

Of course, there's no word yet on whether the device actually works or is even safe, so don't go holding out hope just yet. In the meantime, keep up with those self-exams and mammograms and other good prevention habits!
