Abstract
This Letter to the Editor discusses recently published evidence about a portable device that measures electrical properties in breast tissue. The device is not intended to diagnose breast cancer or replace mammography. Instead, it may help identify which women should be referred sooner for additional breast imaging when access to diagnostic services is limited.
期刊介绍:
Breast Cancer: Basic and Clinical Research is an international, open access, peer-reviewed, journal which considers manuscripts on all areas of breast cancer research and treatment. We welcome original research, short notes, case studies and review articles related to breast cancer-related research. Specific areas of interest include, but are not limited to, breast cancer sub types, pathobiology, metastasis, genetics and epigenetics, mammary gland biology, breast cancer models, prevention, detection, therapy and clinical interventions, and epidemiology and population genetics.
