Increasing prevalence of cancer, particularly in developing countries, demands better understanding of the effectiveness and adverse consequences of different cancer treatment regimes in real patient population. Current understanding of cancer treatment toxicities is often derived from either “clean” patient cohorts or coarse population statistics. It is difficult to get up-to-date and local assessment of treatment toxicities for specific cancer centres. In this paper, we applied an Apriori-based method for discovering toxicity progression patterns in the form of temporal association rules. Our experiments show the effectiveness of the proposed method in discovering major toxicity patterns in comparison with the pairwise association analysis. Our method is applicable for most cancer centres with even rudimentary electronic medical records and has the potential to provide real-time surveillance and quality assurance in cancer care.
