Results: We identified the pattern of six or high digital whorls more commonly in females suffering from breast cancer (48.70%) in comparison with the group of controls (27.50%). This was also more common in the females with high risks of the acquiring the breast cancer (47.40%) in comparison with the group of controls (27.50%). We found no disparities in females with high danger to acquire the breast cancer (47.40%) in comparison with the females resent with the complication of the breast cancer (48.70%). Conclusion: The role of the digital dermatoglyphic is very important in the identification of the females suffering from breast cancer or present with high risk to acquire the breast cancer which can provide the awareness to start the early treatment to prevent the risk of the disease.
