Artificial neural networks in cancer research.

摘要: The concept of artificial neural networks dates back to the early part this century. However, their use in biological and medical research has only vastly proliferated during last few years. It is now clear that these networks, which attempt emulate functions human brain, can play a vital role field cancer research, where they could be used diagnosis, prognosis patient management stages evaluation. This paper presents review underlying theory behind gives broad overview many areas application within field. achieved through prognostic analysis prostate markers, non-invasive diagnosis lymph node involvement breast patients assessment image cytometric data for predicting metastatic potential cancer.
