About this trial

This is an interventional diagnostic trial for Breast Cancer focused on measuring tissue dielectric constant, breast cancer, tumor, biopsy

Eligibility Criteria

18 Years - undefined (Adult, Older Adult)FemaleDoes not accept healthy volunteers

Inclusion Criteria:

  • You must be scheduled for a breast biopsy of a breast mass or abnormality with the collaborating centers

Exclusion Criteria:

  • You have any open wounds over the breasts
  • You have had breast cancer
  • You have or have had breast implants or have undergone any breast surgery or breast biopsy
  • You have any implantable wires, this includes a Pacemaker, Implantable Cardioverter ° Defibrillators (ICDs), and/or Left Ventricular Assist Device (LVAD)
  • You are pregnant

Sites / Locations

5. Study Description

Brief Summary
Patients with pending breast biopsies will have the tumor site's tissue dielectric constant (TDC) measured prior to the biopsy. Similar TDC measurements will be made at a standard breast site on the biopsied breast and on mirrored sites on the non-affected breast.
Detailed Description
Patients with pending breast biopsies will have the tumor site's tissue dielectric constant (TDC) measured prior to the biopsy. Similar TDC measurements will be made at a standard breast site on the biopsied breast and on mirrored sites on the non-affected breast. Values obtained at the biopsy site will be compared against the outcome of the biopsy analysis: benign vs. malignant. In addition the measurements obtained at the standardized site for all breasts will be used to establish a set of reference values to characterize breast TDC values. In addition, inter-breast differentials will be used to characterize these ranges for future studies and clinical assessments.
