Abstract [en]

We discuss two computational techniques in the current paper. In the first part, we aim at employing FCM (fuzzy c-means) clustering to compute membership degrees of two clusters providing decisions to perform surgery or not for a testing set of 25 gastric cancer patients. The second part handles mathematical modelling of a common function approximating the information obtained from the c-means procedure. After constructing the equation of the function, we can make the decision about the surgery in the form of the surgery degree for an arbitrary gastric cancer patient. A centre, dealing with mathematical techniques concerning surgery prognoses, can quickly decide about surgery for the patient who lives in a remote place. A transmission of information among the centre and some hospitals, interested in adopting the centre services, can facilitate surgery decision-making. This trial can be treated as a contribution in the telemedicine domain.
