Abstract: This article describes a detailed analysis of 125 tumor patientsπfingerprints and palm-prints using standard classification methods including control group, χ2 test , and one2sample K2S analysis. It was noted that there were differences in the occurrence of specific fingerprints and palm2prints between the patients and the control group, and that some of these features were strongly correlated. These observations provide a powerful theoretical basis for establishing a quantifiable dermatoglyphics feature index system using the patients and control group’s classification with interpretation through discriminant analysis.
