Abstract

Due to global changes, the incidence and mortality rate of esophagus cancer has skyrocketed in the last decades, with about 500,000 new cases. Esophageal cancer is a real life problem with uncertain data and human error, giving room for possible misdiagnosis. This study developed a fuzzy intelligent system (FIS) to screen and provide predictive diagnosis of esophageal cancer. Fuzzy IF THEN rules were generated from a combination of esophageal symptoms, general risk factors, and diagnostic tests, under expert considerations. MATLAB software was used to design and run the FIS. The data was retrieved from a hospital in Erbil for 7 patients. The system provides recommendations with each predictive diagnosis, whether a patient is positive or negative for esophageal cancer or something suspicious is wrong with the esophagus. After implementing the data on FIS, the system shows an overall system accuracy of 95.24%, with an even higher accuracy of 98% for each patient’s prediction. For future studies, it is highly recommended that the fuzzy rules be expanded to include more variables and dataset.
