PY - 2017 DA - 2017/02/06 TI - Non-invasive optical spectroscopic monitoring of breast development during puberty JO - Breast Cancer Research SP - 12 VL - 19 IS - 1 AB - Tanner staging (TS), a five-stage classification indicating no breast tissue (TS1) to full breast development (TS5), is used both in health research and clinical care to assess the onset of breast development (TS2) and duration in each stage. Currently, TS is measured both visually and through palpation but non-invasive methods will improve comparisons across settings.
