A bra reducing secondary cancer risk

The inventive bra (1) reducing secondary cancer risk during treatment of breast cancer patients comprising:

• a retaining element (2) which retains only the non-cancerous breast to protect it by leaving the cancerous breast exposed, at the step of administering radiation therapy to the cancerous breast;
• at least one side band (3) which extends from the side parts of the retaining element (2) towards the patient's back in order to ensure that the retaining element (2) holds on to the body;
• at least one shoulder strap (4) which extends from the retaining element (2) up to the side band (3) on the back part by passing over the shoulder on the side where the non-cancerous breast is located, secures retaining the breast by enabling the retaining element (2) to press the non-cancerous breast, and has an adjustable structure;
• at least one connection element (5) which is located on the end of the side bands (3) and the shoulder strap (4) and enables to interconnect the side bands (3) and the shoulder strap (4);
• characterized by
• a pushing element (6) one end of which is sewn to the retaining element (2) point between two breasts, other end of which is fixed to the connection element (5) on the patient's back by passing over the retaining element (2) and under the patient's arm;
• at least one shield (7) which protects the non-cancerous breast from the radiation being scattered inside the treatment room, upon being placed onto the retaining element (2) afterwards;
• and
• at least one holder (8) which ensures that the shields stay together on the retaining element (2) in a desired shape and number.
