ABSTRACT tivation factor to develop this automated diagnostic tool. Again, a major class of problems in medical science in- volves the diagnosis of disease, based upon several tests performed upon the patient and this has given rise, over the past few decades, to computerized diagnostic tools, intended to aid the physician in making sense out of the confusing data [2]. In this investigation, an approach using Coac- tive Neuro-Fuzzy Inference System (CANFIS) as diagnosis system for breast cancer has been proposed on Wisconsin Breast Cancer Data (WBCD). It is occasionally difficult to attain the ultimate diagnosis even for medical experts due to the complexity and non-linearity of the rela- tionships between the large measured factors, which can be possibly resolved with a human like decision-making process using Artificial Intelligence (AI) algorithms. CANFIS is an AI algorithm which has the advantages of both fuzzy inference system and neural networks and can deal with ambiguous data and learn from the past data by itself. The Multi Layer Percep- tron Neural Network (MLPNN), Probabilistic Neural Network (PNN) Principal Component Analysis (PCA), Support Vector Machine (SVM) and Self Organizing Map (SOM) were also tested and benchmarked for their performance on the classification of
