Preprint submitted to Artificial Intelligence in MedicineApril 15, 2010 is managed automatically by the system. Used as a plug-in on the same interface, eXiT*CBR can work with any data mining technique such as learning the relevance of features.
Results:The results show that eXiT*CBR is a user-friendly tool that facilitates physicians to use the CBR method to determine a diagnoses in the field of breast cancer, dealing with different patterns implicit in the data.
