In ex vivo studies, breast tumors exhibit a significantly altered electric conductivity, measurable in vivo using “Electric Properties Tomography”. A significant conductivity difference was reported between benign and malignant breast tumors and between invasive and in situ carcinomas. This study tested a correlation between conductivity and WHO grade of invasive ductal carcinomas (IDCs) and benign fibroadenomas. A clear conductivity difference was found between IDC grade 1 and grade 2, as well as between IDC grade 1 and grade 3. No clear difference was found between fibroadenoma and IDC grade 1, as well as between IDC grade 2 and grade 3.
