Due to the increasing interest in applied sciences and their impact on the diagnosis of certain diseases such as cancer, the need for discovering new and rapid methods for early cancer detection in hospitals and health centers has grown. Therefore, studying the electrical properties of cancerous and healthy tissues is one of the most useful methods for diagnosis. This research focused on studying the electrical properties (impedance, conductance, conductivity, and permittivity) of human tissues (breast and thyroid) that are cancerous and healthy at frequencies of (1, 50, 100, 150, 200, 250, 300) KHZ. We found that impedance decreases with increasing frequency, and there is a significant difference between the cancerous and healthy tissues, as the impedance in healthy tissues is greater than that in cancerous tissues in both organs. As for conductivity and conductance, they increase with increasing frequency and are greater in cancerous tissues than in healthy ones for the breast, while there is no significant difference in thyroid tissues. Permittivity increases in cancerous tissues more than in healthy tissues in both organs.

Debido al creciente interés en las ciencias aplicadas y su impacto en el diagnóstico de ciertas enfermedades como el cáncer, ha crecido la necesidad de descubrir nuevos y rápidos métodos para la detección temprana del cáncer en hospitales y centros de salud. Por ello, estudiar las propiedades eléctricas de los tejidos cancerosos y sanos es uno de los métodos más útiles para el diagnóstico. Esta investigación se centró en estudiar las propiedades eléctricas (impedancia, conductancia, conductividad y permitividad) de tejidos humanos (mama y tiroides) cancerosos y sanos a frecuencias de (1, 50, 100, 150, 200, 250, 300) KHZ. Encontramos que la impedancia disminuye con el aumento de la frecuencia, y existe una diferencia significativa entre los tejidos cancerosos y sanos, ya que la impedancia en los tejidos sanos es mayor que en los tejidos cancerosos en ambos órganos. En cuanto a la conductividad y la conductancia, aumentan con el aumento de la frecuencia y son mayores en los tejidos cancerosos que en los sanos para la mama, mientras que no existe una diferencia significativa en los tejidos tiroideos. La permitividad aumenta más en los tejidos cancerosos que en los tejidos sanos en ambos órganos
