Abstract: This study uses artificial neural network (ANN) classification method to predict the occurrence of prostate cancer. The surveillance, epidemiology, and end results (SEER) program data, for the years 2004 to 2011, was used to train and test the performance of ANN. In addition, ANN model's result was compared with the most used classification methods. The result of classification methods' tests showed that the artificial neural network had success rates of 99.36% compared to logistic regression (84.95%), decision tree classifier (90.34%) and support vector machine (88.52%).
