System, method and apparatus for cancer detection

A kit for cancer detection comprising:

• at least one instruction for the use of said kit;
• and
• a cartridge, said cartridge comprising:
• an adaptor configured to connect said cartridge to a hand-held device;
• a fluid receptor configured to receive an amount of fluid therein;
• a plurality of cancer detection biomarkers, said plurality of cancer detection biomarkers disposed in communication with said fluid receptor and targeted for a specific cancer,
• wherein, upon contact of said amount of fluid to at least one of said cancer detection biomarkers, a reaction occurs, said reaction producing a plurality of analog signals;
• a plurality of nanotubes, said plurality of nanotubes configured to receive said plurality of analog signals produced during said reaction, at least one of said nanotubes conducting respective analog signals therethrough;
• and
• a converter, said converter connected to said plurality of nanotubes and converting said respective analog signals to a plurality of digital signals,
• wherein said plurality of digital signals correspond to said specific cancer.

A method for detecting cancer comprising:

• depositing a fluid sample from a patient on a detection area of a cartridge;
• analyzing, within said cartridge, said fluid sample against at least one antigen for a specific cancer;
• detecting, by at least one of a plurality of nanotubes disposed in communication with said detection area, analog signals indicative of said specific cancer in said fluid sample;
• converting, by a converter, said analog signals to a plurality of digital signals;
• and
• forwarding said plurality of digital signals to a hand-held device.
