A training aid to be used in training women or men to carry out
examination of their breasts to give early warning of the development of
possibly cancerous lumps. The aid is in the form of a life-size replica
torso (10), with two breasts made so that they are as alike as possible
in size, texture and position to human breasts. One breast (20) is formed
with a texture and/or implants representative of diseases where the
symptoms are detectable by touch, while the other breast (22) is made to
resemble a healthy, undiseased breast.
