Experimental research plays an important role to point out non-invasiv
e diagnostic techniques to show eventual pathologies of the breast. Th
e aim of the present investigation is to study the specific response o
f complex liquids as solutions originating from normal and neoplastic
mammary tissue in the interaction with e.m. waves, in order to discove
r all the eventual frequencies at which e.m. radiation can be selectiv
ely absorbed by neoplastic mammary tissue, chromophores to eventually
use these elements in diagnosis of these neoplastic diseases. Characte
ristic chromophores absorption has been enhanced in spectra of samples
drawn from neoplastic tissues. We did this by carrying out a spectrop
hotometric examination in the IR, VIS and UV range of solutions of the
various fractions of healthy and neoplastic mammary tissue, obtained
after preparation including differentiated ultracentrifugation of the
nuclear, mitochondrial and lysosomial fractions.
