This high mortality rate have concerned the sanitary authority that lacks of information to identify the risk groups and the factors that influence in the disease.In this work we propose a clustering algorithm for mixed numerical, categorical and multi-valued attributes. We apply our proposed algorithm to identify and to characterize the common patterns in people who died of cancer in the population of Hijuelas between 1994 and 2006.
