Abstract:
1. A method for diagnosis of breast cancer and fibroadenomatosis, the method comprising the steps: a) obtaining scanograms from a sample of buccal epithelium from a confirmed breast cancer patient and/or a confirmed fibroadenomatosis patient; b) assigning a green component and a red component for each scanogram; c) finding the center; d) constructing concentric squares; e) computing the average p-statistics between the squares in breast cancer training samples and fibroadenomatosis training samples; f) finding minimal p-statistics and maximal p-statistics, wherein for an investigated scanogram, compute N(P), wherein if N(P)>0, then breast cancer; wherein if N(P)=0, then do not make any decision; wherein if N(P)<0, then fibroadenomatosis; wherein N(P) is the difference between number of values that do not belong to their corresponding confidence interval for breast cancer and number of values that do not belong to their corresponding confidence interval for fibroadenomatosis; thereby determining a diagnosis for breast cancer or fibroadenomatosis.
