Abstract
Description
The present invention relates to a breast cancer discrimination system, and more particularly, to a method for measuring an intercellular potential difference capable of discriminating the onset of breast cancer by measuring a potential difference between normal tissue and cancer tissue, and a breast cancer discrimination system using the same.
Breast cancer is usually difficult to distinguish from other forms such as scarring or enlargement of the mammary gland at the early stage of development. Therefore, only when the size of the tissue is increased to 10 mm or more, it can be confirmed using conventional diagnostic equipment such as X-ray, ultrasound and MRI Do. Especially in Asian women, there are many cases of dense breast with less fat and more developed wings than Western women. In this case, it is difficult to confirm breast cancer by existing diagnostic equipment.
On the other hand, the normal cells of the human body undergo the process of disruption through the dormant and differentiator. At this time, the cell in the cleavage process opens the cell membrane and ion exchange with the intercellular tissue becomes active, thereby reducing the potential difference. Normally, normal cells maintain a potential of about -70 mV at rest and -15 mV at the differentiation stage. On the other hand, cancer cells maintain cell potential at -15mV at all times without any resting potential because cell differentiation occurs constantly without rest period. By detecting such a potential difference, tumor tissues having a size of 10 mm or less can be distinguished.

As described above in the Background of the Invention, as described above, the metabolites are taken out from the cells in the body tissues including the human body by the exchange of calcium and potassium ion to the cell membrane. Thus, a constant level of dislocation is formed in the inner and outer portions of the cell membrane. Generally, a potential of -70 mV is maintained at the resting stage, and the cell membrane is opened to the cell divider, and the dislocation is decreased to about -10 mV level.
In normal cells, the repetitive and cleaved repeats are repeated, and the repetitive and disruptive potentials appear repeatedly. On the other hand, in cancer cells, the action potential is lower than normal cells have.
Therefore, the conductor can be electrostatically charged by the electric current generated in the cells in the tissue by adhering the conductor to the surface of the skin. By using the difference in potential between normal cells and cancer cells, can do.
Accordingly, the

In general, the diagnosis of breast cancer is made by ultrasound equipment, X-rays, and MRI. The minimum size of breast cancer tissue that can be diagnosed and confirmed by these devices is known to be at least 10 mm.

Especially in oriental women, the mammary gland tissue is relatively developed and the initial diagnosis is difficult due to the conventional diagnostic equipment.
The sensor pad according to the present invention allows the abnormal current generated in the early cancer tissue within 5 mm to 10 mm to be scanned separately from the surrounding normal tissue by making the size of the
