Summary
Brief summary (as posted)
Previously published studies have indicated that there exist difference in electrical properties (EPs), i.e., the conductivity and relative permittivity, between malignant and adjacent normal tissue, which will be useful in the early detection of cancers. While the EP informations of cancer tissues are not sufficient enough. The purpose of this study is to measure the electrical properties of the excised malignant tissues obtained from cancer surgeries.
