Automatic skin cancer detection system
… of malignant melanoma as the lethal form of skin cancer has been raised. The occurrence in Australia is much higher than US, UK, and Canada with the cases more than 10,000 diagnosis and annual mortality of 1250 people. The persistent raise of this cancer in the worldwide, the high medical cost and …

Geographic barriers to early breast cancer detection in central Illinois
Even with remarkable advancements in breast cancer detection and treatment, barriers exist to obtaining regular and effective screening and treatment. This thesis investigates the following research question: what geographic, economic, and social barriers do breast cancer patients face in accessing …

An MRI compatible manipulator for prostate cancer detection and treatment
Prostate cancer is the most frequently diagnosed cancer in men and the second most common cause of cancer related death in men. Prostate specific antigen (PSA) blood tests and digital rectal exams (DRE) are preliminary tests that can suggest the presence of prostate cancer. Following these tests, a …

Generation and application of recombinant antibody fragments for prostate cancer detection.
Prostate cancer (PCa) is the most prevalent adenocarcinoma and the second highest cause of cancer-related deaths in men. Early diagnosis is required to identify the development of PCa to reduce the risk of the disease metastasising to different regions of the body. Multiple biomarkers in serum have …
