Abstract

New tools for cancer screening covers a broad spectrum of innovations including optical sensors, nanotechnology, affinity agents, imaging contrast agents, nanofluidics and cell-based assays. Detection of cancers by non-invasive methods such as X-Ray, CT scan, and MRI & PET scan are non-invasive and quick but very expensive. Objectives of this study are to develop new non-invasive, safe, quick and economical method of detecting cancers by ECGs.Materials and Methods Data were statistically processed using variation and regression analyses. Evaluation of statistical reliability for the groups studied was made according to the p-value for the meaning of chi-square, and differences were considered significant at р<0.05. Results and Discussion In the group was included 31 individuals without cancer and 67 persons with different types of cancer. p- wave may be use with an insignificantly degree of probability as a predictor of cancer for women. QRS complex may be used as an additional indicator of cancer for men. Dividing the groups by sex showed the presence of statistically significant difference between the mathematical expectations for the groups. Conclusion The results showed that obtained logistic regression model possessed good abilities for cancer prediction among men, based on the ESGs.
