Abstract

DNA microarrays technology has emerged as a major tool to explore cancer biology and solve clinical issues. The response to chemotherapy represents such an issue because its prediction would make it possible to give the patients the most appropriate chemotherapy regimen. We propose a new method of probes selection, and we study the performances of predictors designed with multi-objective neural network (MOBJ-NN) taking as input the expression levels of the selected probes. The novelty of this paper is to link the method of probes selection and the MOBJ-NN model for designing multi-gene predictors.
