Early diagnosis of gastrointestinal cancer by using case-based and rule-based reasoning

作者:

Highlights:

• We present a medical diagnosis decision support model for gastrointestinal cancer.

• The model uses case-based reasoning (CBR) and rule-based reasoning (RBR).

• We used real patient data as inputs to our model.

• The model was validated through K-fold cross validation and the paired t-test.

• Improved diagnosis accuracy compared to a CBR approach not using RBR in retrieval.
