Abstract
The task of staging breast cancer is very essential in the management of the disease. This is because the stage of the disease determines the most appropriate treatment to be given to patients, and this consequently determines the rate of mortality due to the menace. Despite its importance, staging of breast cancer is cumbersome and requires experiential knowledge for it to be adequately done. New and inexperienced doctors therefore depend on consultant oncologists to carry out this task. This study therefore adopted a traditional rule-based approach to develop an expert system than could serve as a decision support system for inexperienced doctors in staging breast cancer. To achieve this aim, knowledge of the symptoms and the criteria for staging were elicited from the Association of American Cancer Society. The elicited knowledge was represented procedurally using IF-THEN rule. The Breast Cancer Staging System was later implemented using JAVA programming language, The developed system was evaluated for accuracy, reliability and usability using Mean Opinion Score; and the scores gotten were 4.12, 4.12 and 4.08 respectively. This study has therefore developed a computational tool that could reduce the bottlenecks in staging breast cancer and subsequently reduce mortality rate due to the disease.
