Microarray technology is a powerful tool to monitor gene expression or gene expression changes of hundreds or thousands of genes in a single experiment.Meta-Genetic Programming is the meta learning technique of evolving a genetic programming system to predict cancer classes for better understanding of different types of cancers and to find the possible biomarkers for diseases.A new technique which is known as Majority Voting Genetic Programming Classifier (MVGPC) combined with meta-genetic programming (MGP) is proposed which combines meta-genetic programming and majority voting technique to predict the cancer class for a given patient sample with higher accuracy and minimum computational time.This paper also aims to provide a means to identify cancer at an early stage and hence increase the chances of survival for the patients.
