This paper describes the application of a neural network model (SOC: Self-Organizing Classifier) to the problem of classifying the time of recurrence of breast cancer. Differently from other neural models, SOC shows good convergence and generalization abilities even in the case of a small data set, thus being particularly suitable for medical applications.
