Human cancer is at an important frontier of medical research, and one
where Computational Intelligence methods have made substantial inroads
in recent years. Computational Intelligence research in cancer now
reaches all biological scales from human population down to the
phenotype and genotype. It is also fair to say that it reaches the
complete range of cancer pathologies. This book does not aim to achieve
such completeness of coverage. Instead, the studies included in it
should provide readers with a broad palette and a hopefully useful
taster of what Computational Intelligence methods can achieve in the
field. This volume contains an overview of the field and a collection
of eight leading-edge studies from research teams composed of experts
in the field on various aspects of the subject.
CONTENTS
1. Investigating human cancer with Computational Intelligence
2. Unsupervised breast cancer discovery: a comparitive study on model-based and neural computing.
3. Downsizing multigenic predictors of the response to preoperative chemotherapy in breast cancer.
4. Stratification of severity of illness indices and out-of-sample validation:a case study for breast cancer prognosis.
5. Exploratory characteristics of a multi-centre 1H-MRS brain tumour database.
