ABSTRACT
Dermatoglyphic study to correlate a particular palm print pattern with occurrence of cervical carcinoma in the Northern Bengal population was done. Patterns of 72 cases of cervical carcinoma were tested against 72 controls. The results showed that there is an increase of double loop pattern in I4 area in cervical cancer patients in both the hands which is statistically significant (8.33%, left & 2.78%, right). In both hands, there is also an increased frequency of hypothenar area double loop pattern in cervical cancer patients (1.39% on right hand and 5.56% on left hand). The differences in left hand are statistically significant only.
Keywords: dermatoglyphics, cervical cancer, finger print, palmar print.
