B-B-E is simple, much like getting an E-K-G. Electrodes are placed over

Since most breast lumps turn out to be benign it's hope that B-B-E could be
used to identify those that are cancerous before surgery.
Currently doctors use mammography as a screening tool for cancer followed
by surgery. But mammography has limitations.

As part of the study, 12-hundred women at five sites around the country
will undergo B-B-E before getting biopsies for suspicious breast lumps.
Doctors won't know how accurate B-B-E is until all the results are in.
And if earlier results hold up in this larger trial-- doctors may be able
to offer women a quicker, less invasive way to diagnose breast lumps.
