Intraradiological pathology-calibrated electrical impedance spectroscopy in the evaluation of excision-required breast lesions.

Purpose: Evaluating a real-time complementary bioelectrical diagnostic device based on electrical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) for improving breast imaging-reporting and data system (BI-RADS) scoring accuracy, especially in high-risk or borderline breast diseases. The primary purpose is to characterize breast tumors based on their dielectric properties. Early detection of high-risk lesions and increasing the accuracy of tumor sampling and pathological diagnosis are secondary objectives of the study.

Distinguishment of populated metastatic cancer cells from primary ones based on their invasion to endothelial barrier by biosensor arrays fabricated on nanoroughened poly(methyl methacrylate).

Determining the migratory and invasive capacity of cancer cells as well as clarifying the underlying mechanisms are most relevant for developing biosensors in cancer diagnosis, prognosis, drug development and treatment. Intravasation of metastatic cells into blood stream initiated by their invasion to vascular layer would be a significant characteristic of metastasis. Many types of biochemical and bioelectrical sensors were developed for early detection of metastasis.
