Abstract
An internet/web based artificial neural network has been developed for use by practicing clinical oncologists and medical researchers as part of a programme to aid decision making and eventually, the management and treatment of individual patients with colorectal cancer. We have configured and implemented a Partial Likelihood Artificial Neural Network (PLANN) and trained it to predict cancer related survival in patients with confirmed colorectal cancer using a database provided by the Clinical Resource and Audit Group (CRAG) in Scotland. The reliability of the trained PLANN was evaluated against Kaplan- Meier (KM) actual survival plots and shows close agreement with them.
