Therefore, fingerprints and palm prints from 27 cases vith histologically proven colon cancer were compared to fingerprints and palms from 50 controls with no history of any malignant disease. On the fingertips of colon cancer cases, whorl types, total finger ridge count of male patients, were more then those of the control cases. Palmar III loops and t triradii were less, palmar H loops and palmar a-b ridge count of male patients were more. Furthermore, the frequency of the ending of the palmar A line of patients in 5" was more than controls. İn this report it was found that the values of both fingertips and palm patterns were clearly significant. in patients vith colon cancer. İt is concluded that the dermatoglyphic analysis will contribute to the genetic studies performed in colon cancer because of its easy applıcability without causing trauma to the patient, rapid results and low cost.}, number={1}, publisher={Ege Üniversitesi}
