Decided to search for examples of AI in cancer prognosis for the literature search part of TMA01. I have started with a simple google search for the terms: AI cancer prognosis.
I immediately read a useful article on the New Scientist website which describes using a neural network and fuzzy logic to predict the disease spread and 5 year survival rates for patients presenting with various types and stages of breast cancer. Link added "Artificial Intelligence Tackles Breast Cancer"
I followed the link in the New Scientists site to the Biomedical Computing and Engineering Technologies Applied Research Group who produced the original paper. Here there is a list of very useful publications and journal articles. I will use the OUs library to see if I can access the full text of some of these articles.

Also discovered this article with is very interesting and provides background on who prognosis is currently derived.
