Outline
This model can be worn for use as a teaching aid for self-examination and training in the detection of breast cancer symptoms. 5 Iumps and I dimple can be detected.
Characteristics
The incidence of breast cancer is high in women in the prime of life. If breast cancer is detected and treated at an early stage, chances of a complete recovery are very high.
Since the breast is an organ located close to the body surface, any change that develops in the skin can be seen, and changes in the breast itself can be palpated. Breast cancer symptoms appear as a "lump" or change in the skin. The smaller the cancer is, the better the recovery expected by treatment. From this standpoint, not only professional examination by a doctor, but also careful self-examination are recommended every month. If a lump or mass is detected, one should immediately consult with a specialist. This model is a teaching aid for detecting breast cancer symptoms and for training women in self-examination.
Advantages
The model is made of soft silicone and feels very realistic. Lumps and skin changes typical of cancer symptoms can be realistically simulated with this model. It is not only an ideal educational model for nurses, students, doctors and other paramedical personnel, but also provides an effective teaching tool for self-examination of breast cancer in mass screening.

Symptoms of Breast Cancer
- Lump:
The initial symptom in 80%-90% of breast cancers is a painless lump. The lump should be detected as early as possible by palpating the breasts once a month with the palms while taking a bath. - Skin Changes Dimple:
If the cancer approaches the skin, the skin becomes depressed to form a dimple. - Storage:
This model must be kept in the case supplied. Ink will easily stain the model so it should not come into contact with any printed matter. - Caution:
