A decision support system has been set up, BREASTCAN II, aimed to enable GPs to identify the optimal treatment for their breast cancer patients. BREASTCAN II takes into account physical and biological features of the patient and of the tumor, therefore the treatment which is recommended is specifically tuned to each specific case. BREASTCAN II is based on the most recent achievements in oncology world wide, on clinical protocols, on clinical cases and on the clinical expertise developed at National Cancer Institute in Genoa, where it has been tested. BREASTCAN II includes a patient record system and a reasoning system. The patient record system takes into account features of the patient and of the disease.

Abstract
A decision support system has been set up, BREASTCAN II, aimed to enable GPs to identify the optimal treatment for their breast cancer patients. BREASTCAN II takes into account physical and biological features of the patient and of the tumor, therefore the treatment which is recommended is specifically tuned to each specific case. BREASTCAN II is based on the most recent achievements in oncology world wide, on clinical protocols, on clinical cases and on the clinical expertise developed at National Cancer Institute in Genoa, where it has been tested. BREASTCAN II includes a patient record system and a reasoning system. The patient record system takes into account features of the patient and of the disease. The reasoning system is based on object in the patient record record and, if applicable, previous treatment including radiotherapy.
