CONCEPT It doesn’t hurt. Make the medical examinations starting from 2019 more familiar. Among all cancers, breast cancer has the highest incidence (incidence rate) among Japanese women, and the incidence rate is increasing*1. Looking at the incidence of breast cancer by age group, the incidence of breast cancer is highest among people in their late 40s to early 50s.*2 Even under such circumstances, in 2022, the breast cancer screening participation rate for women aged 40 to 69 is 47.4. % and less than 50% *3. Reasons for not undergoing breast cancer screening include concerns such as the test being painful and fear of being diagnosed with cancer. Under these circumstances, there is hope that the “Painless MRI Breast Cancer Screening” provided by Doubs Search Co., Ltd. will help improve the rate of consultation. Conventional breast cancer screening mainly involves mammography, which takes X-rays specifically for the breast, which tends to be painful because the breasts are compressed with a plate and taken while stretched thin. On the other hand, “Painless MRI Breast Cancer Screening” is a lively test that not only reduces pain but also allows the test to be performed while wearing clothes. The test is performed while lying face down on a bed that is hollowed out in the shape of a breast, so there is no pain from pinching the breast. Until now, the standard for breast MRI examinations was to remove the examination clothes to expose the breasts, and there was an unwritten rule that the examination was performed with the breasts fully clothed. Thanks to the invention and ingenuity of Dr. Takahara, who developed the system, this taboo was broken and, for the first time in the world, it was possible to perform an examination while wearing clothes, making it possible for technicians of the opposite sex to also be in charge. The effective sensitivity range is wide and there are no blind spots, so the cancer detection rate is high, and since it is an MRI scan, there is no radiation exposure. Our company believes that making more people aware of highly advanced breast cancer screening and making screening more familiar is connected to Classico Co., Ltd.’s mission of “bringing sensitivity to the medical field.” , we asked them to jointly develop next-generation breast cancer exam wear for clothed exams, and we have completed it. Classico’s examination clothes are worn by patients who are exposed to various psychological burdens, such as anxiety that cancer may be found, the nervousness of having to take off and put on clothes for the examination, and the worry of being examined by a technician of the opposite sex. We are developing this product with the hope that it will give you a sense of warmth and help you embrace your various anxieties. Through this exam uniform, we hope to make “painless MRI breast cancer screening” more accurate and comfortable. *1・2 Source: Cancer Control Information Center, National Cancer Center, Independent Administrative Agency: Cancer incidence data based on regional cancer registries and national estimates (2008) *3 Source: Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare 2022 (Reiwa 4) National Lifestyle Survey Overview July 4, 2022
