Abstract:

The paper presents a genetic algorithm used as a tool for rule discovery from real medical data. The data concern carcinoma of the cervix uteri, they cover 527 patients from three years. The last covered year is 1998, so we know results of applied therapy of patients. The efficiency of genetic algorithm used as a tool for such a problem has been studied and obtained results are shortly presented. Summary and the future work are also included in the paper.
