Background:

Cervical cancer detection relies on accurate diagnostic tools.
Existing decision support systems may lack interpretability and efficiency.
Soft computing offers a flexible paradigm for complex medical data analysis.

Purpose of the Study:

To design a hybrid decision support system for cervical cancer staging.
To integrate rough set theory, ID3 algorithm, and genetic algorithms (GAs).
To improve classification performance and rule extraction capabilities.

Main Methods:

Developing knowledge-based subnetworks using rough set theory and ID3.
Evolving subnetworks with GAs, employing a restricted mutation operator.
Simultaneously tuning network weights and structure for optimized performance.

Main Results:

The hybrid system demonstrated enhanced classification scores.
Achieved a reduced network size and faster training time.
Outperformed conventional multilayer perceptrons in key metrics.

Conclusions:

The proposed hybrid system offers a robust approach for cervical cancer detection.
The integration of soft computing techniques improves system efficiency and interpretability.
This methodology facilitates the extraction of logical rules for clinical decision-making.
