Abstract

The tissue protein profiles of healthy volunteers and volunteers with cervical cancer were

recorded using High Performance Liquid Chromatography combined with Laser Induced

Fluorescence  technique  (HPLC-LIF)  developed  in  our  lab.      We analyzed      the protein

profile data using different clustering methods for their classification followed by various

validation  measures.    The  clustering  algorithms  used  for  the  study  were  K-  means,  K-

medoid, Fuzzy C-means, Gustafson-Kessel, and Gath-Geva.  The results presented in this

study  conclude  that  the  protein  profiles  of  tissue  samples  recorded  by  using  the  HPLC-

LIF  system  and  the  data  analyzed  by  clustering  algorithms  quite  successfully  classifies

them as belonging from normal and malignant conditions.
