Abstract :

Special examinations exist for many chronic diseases, which can diagnose the disease while it is asymptomatic, with no signs or symptoms. The earlier detection of disease may lead to more cured patients or longer survival. This possibility has led to public health programs which recommend populations to have periodic screening examinations for detecting specific chronic diseases like cancer, diabetes and cardiovascular diseases. From the beginning of our research the main idea was development of noninvasive diagnostic methods. The idea is based on parallel use of biochemical and genetic tests. Existing methods to detect cancer in asymptomatic patients have limitations, and there is a need to develop more accurate and convenient methods. In this study, we investigated the possibility of early detection of cancer by two step procedure. The first step is an adaptive Mahalanobis distancebased statistical cluster analysis performed on a set of biomedical parameters, like glycoproteins and globulins, while the second one is a pre-trained gene-expression-patterns analysis in peripheral blood cells based on new methods including support vector machine classification, developed by Professor Vapnik and multi-layer neuron networks analysis developed by Dr. Kupka. The most frequent types of cancer diseases were evaluated including prostate, breast, ovarian, gastric, hepatocellular, thyroid, glioma and colorectal. Data from several thousand persons were analyzed. Thanks to the combination of two independent diagnostic methods, the success rate higher than 90% was achieved in all cases.
