Artificial neural networks for cancer research: Outcome prediction

Abstract: The use of artificial neural networks in biological and medical research has increased tremendously in the last few years. Artificial neural networks are being used in cancer research for image processing, the analysis of laboratory data for breast cancer diagnosis, the discovery of chemotherapeutic agents, and for cancer outcome prediction. A neural network generalizes from the input data to patterns inherent in the data, and its uses these patterns to make predictions or to classify. This paper explains how … Show more

“…A wide variety of applications in medical sciences have been developed like tumor detection in ultra sonograms, classification of chest x-rays, detection of calcification in mammograms, classification of cervical cancer using pap smears, analyzing breast cancer and cardiology etc [10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20]. So it can easily be deduced that neural networks can be used in predictions of various stages of different diseases [21].…”

“…In recent years, there has been an increased interest in the application of machine learning methods to prediction using censored data. Several groups have approached prognosis as a separation problem using different learning architectures, including backpropagation artificial neural networks (ANNs) (Burke, 1994;Burke et al, 1997), entropy maximization networks (Choong et al, 1996) and decision trees (Wolberg et al, 1992;Wolberg et al, 1994). This is done by choosing one or more endpoints and learning a yes/no classifier on concepts such as "patients who recurred in less than two years."…”
