Introduction and objectives: In the United States, breast cancer (BC) is the most common non-skin cancer. In Poland, it
is estimated that the number of new breast cancer cases affects about 13,500 women each year. There are many methods
for nutritional status assessment. One of them is bioimpedance analysis (BIA). Direct bioimpedance measures (resistance,
reactance, phase angle (PA)) determined by bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA) detectf changes in tissue electrical
properties. The study was conducted to investigate whether there are any tissue electrical differences in patients with
breast cancer.
Materials and methods: The direct bioimpedance measures determined by bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA) were
performed on 34 patients with BC and 34 healthy volunteers. The measurements were made with ImpediMed bioimpedance
analysis SFB7 BioImp v1.55 (Pinkenba Qld 4008, Australia).
Results: Reactance and resistance at 50 kHz was found to be significantly greater in patients with BC than in the control
group (53.59° ± 1.53 vs. 47.26° ± 1.25, respectively, p=0.0031; 603.24° ± 15.38 ohm vs. 515.87° ± 11.48 ohm, respectively,
p=0.00004).
Conclusion: Pre-surgical patients diagnosed with BC have altered tissue electrical properties. Further observations of a larger
patient group would be valuable to calculate survival, validate the prognostic significance of PA, and monitor nutritional
and therapeutic interventions in this patient population.
