Aim: The anticancer properties of locally applied infrared radiation are widely discussed in the literature. Earth's global emissivity, or emitted by our planet, is inhomogeneous and varies based on geophysical characteristics region where one resides. This study aimed to test hypothesis: does local emissivity influence prevalence malignant diseases a region. Materials Methods: We performed planimetric comparison two World maps: 1. NASA Spacecraft Map Global Emissivity; 2. GLOBOCAN 2020 Cancer Data. For we used “Image Compare” tool from Oxford Robotics Research Group. area measurements FreeMapsTools calculator. Results: total assessed was 127,750,000 square kilometers. distribution according as follows: 107,050,000 km² with above 0.94 20,700,000 below 0.94. cancer incidence 28,150,000 lower than 180 per 100,000 99,600,000 more 100,000. found be statistically significantly associated higher defined (p-value < 0.0001). Conclusion: significant association between areas planet incidence. Our findings underscore need include environmental factors, case exposure, potential predictor deployment predictive models, such those involving machine learning artificial intelligence.
