Abstract
This paper aims to expand the work in by modeling breast tumors, containing a large number of cells, of different spatial distributions and division stages. Malignant breast tumors were found to exhibit an irregular shape whereas benign tumors were found to have a smooth circular shape. Therefore, the goal of this work is to study the effect of the different cell configurations on the electric signals.
