Investigating the Relationship between New Diagnostic Technology and Information Technology in Diagnosing Cancer: Focusing on Breast Cancer

Abstract

Introduction: The use of computer-assisted diagnostic tools has increased dramatically in various fields of medicine, especially cancer. It is essential and inevitable to use these tools, especially when there is a need to process large volumes of data, but new diagnostic methods was based on the use of Nano-sensors that have many advantages and they can be used to diagnose breast cancer, one of the most common neoplastic malignancies in the world. The study aims to investigate the relationship between new diagnostic methods and information technology in cancer diagnosis by categorizing research topics and important known aspects of cancer related illness from 1984 to 2017.
 Methods: The evaluation conducted in March 2018 and used to access the articles on diagnostic and therapeutic methods from the PubMed, Medline, and Cochran library, WHO, Iranmedex and PsycINFO databases.
 Results: The findings of this study in two sections of cancer and biological sensors show that biomarkers detect disease, and health information technology is expanding and innovating new methods. This can play an important role in managing chronic diseases such as cancer.
 Conclusion: Primal diagnosis, reducing the time to diagnose and improving the quality of care during treatment, is one of the health’s information technology (IT) benefits of diagnosing cancer. In general, the results this study indicate that the use of information technology to increase the speed of effective therapeutic stages. Resulting in general health, as well as the relationship of information technology with diagnostic and therapeutic methods in our country can greatly increase the level of health and well-being and development, and create a new way of linking information technology and new diagnostic methods to cancer.
