Predicting upper aerodigestive tract cancer

摘要

Cancer screening models based on analysis of mass spectroscopy data can be used to predict upper aerodigestive tract cancer, including lung and head and neck cancers. Models can be generated by comparing spectral weight values obtained from upper aerodigestive tract cancer patients and from patients at high risk for such cancer. Predictor or covariate values identify spectral weight values associated with upper aerodigestive tract cancer.
