SPECIAL SESSION: Neural networks and other Machine Learning methods in 
cancer research
Organizers: Alfredo Vellido (Tech. Univ. Catalunya, Spain), Paulo J.G. 
Lisboa (Liverpool John Moores University, U.K.)

To be organized at IWANN 2007
9th International Work-Conference on Artificial Neural Networks
Palacio de Miramar, San Sebastián, Spain; June 20-22, 2007

THE SESSION IN BRIEF:
Computer-assisted decision support in medicine has the baseline role of 
enhancing the consistency of care. Such consistency requires the 
management of uncertainty, which is an important goal for the use of any 
intelligent technology in support of medical diagnostic and prognostic 
decision-making. Neural Networks and Machine Learning methods in general 
can be applied to a wide range of data types and problems in cancer 
research. In this special session, we aim to put together a collection 
of diverse and up-to-date Neural Network and Machine Learning approaches 
to different problems in the field of oncology.
