Abstract

This study presents electrical bioimpedance (EBI) and field cancerization as possible alternatives for studying colorectal cancer (CRC), given the strong negative impact of this disease in Colombia and worldwide. EBI comprises some low-risk and low-cost technics that have been used to detect some types of cancer, also showing great potential for the study of CRC. On the other hand, field cancerization is related to ultrastructural changes before tumor development in extended tissue areas linked to epigenetic alterations. It could be helpful for early detection, as demonstrated by studies that employ optical technics. In addition, some preliminary studies have shown promising results in using EBI, under the concept of field cancerization, for CRC detection by rectal tissue measurements.
