Skin Electrical Resistance as a Diagnostic and Therapeutic Biomarker of Breast Cancer Measuring Lymphatic Regions.

ABSTRACT: Skin changes associated with alterations in the interstitial matrix and lymph system might provide significant and measurable effects due to the presence of breast cancer. This study aimed to determine if skin electrical resistance changes could serve as a diagnostic and therapeutic biomarker associated with physiological changes in patients with malignant versus benign breast cancer lesions. Forty-eight women (24 with malignant cancer, 23 with benign lesions) were enrolled in this study. Repeated skin resistance measurements were performed within the same session and 1 week after the first measurement in the breast lymphatic region and non-breast lymphathic regions. Intraclass correlation coefficients were calculated to determine the technique's intrasession and intersession reproducibili
