Real-time Early Cancer Detection and Prognostic Systems Using Emerging Technologies

Abstract

Cancer diseases are controllable, if detected, diagnosed and treated properly at an early stage. The early symptoms are often vague and are common to other illnesses. Annual health examination by specialists (e.g., Urologist, Gastroenterologist, and Gynaecologists) helps detect and diagnose cancer at an early stage. Following the diagnosis of cancer, patients are referred to Oncologists for treatment. It is known that early detection of the disease is one of the most important tools for successful treatments. This paper outlines an early cancer detection tool and provides an analysis of its performance using emerging technologies (such as RFID - Radio Frequency Identification and Sensor) and prognostic tool with a multi-layer architecture for intelligent real-time early cancer detection and prognostic systems (RECDPS). This paper gives network analysis of RECDPS system. Performance analysis of a network shows that database entry and response times are acceptable.
