AbstractThe in vitro bulk electrical properties of MCA1 fibrosarcoma induced in C57BI/6 male mice were measured at frequencies of 10 kHz to 100 MHz, with some tissues measured to 2 GHz. The properties of normal surrounding tissue also were measured. A comparison of the dielectric properties between three different stages of tumor development as well as that between various locations within the tumor is reported.Statistical analysis of the experimental results revealed statistically significant differences in the dielectric constant and conductivity of the tumor tissues at various stages of development as measured at frequencies below 10 MHz. Conductivity values at different stages also differ at a frequency of 100 MHz. At other frequencies these differences were found to be statistically insignificant.
