abstract = "Cancers are a large family of diseases that involve
abnormal cell growth with the potential to spread to
other parts of the body. A cancer disease in any of its
forms represents a major cause of death worldwide. In
cancer diagnosis, classification of different tumour
types is of the greatest significance. Accuracy for
prediction of various tumour types gives better
treatment and minimization of toxicity on patients.
Accordingly, creating methodologies that can
effectively differentiate between cancer subtypes is
essential. This paper presents a new methodology to
classify Human cancer diseases based on the gene
expression profiles. The proposed methodology combines
both Information gain (IG) and Deep Genetic Algorithm
(DGA). It first uses IG for feature selection, then
uses Genetic Algorithm (GA) for feature reduction and
finally uses Genetic Programming (GP) for cancer types'
classification. The proposed system is evaluated by
classifying cancer diseases in seven cancer datasets
and the results are compared with most recent
approaches.",
