Breast cancer is a common disease around the world. Much work has been done to predict the survivability of breast cancer patients. While the prediction is an information that is important in many applications, the reliability of an individual classification result, is of great interest in many application areas including bioinformatics. In this paper, we apply the Conformal Prediction algorithm to the classification results of four data mining algorithms in order to eliminate the non-reliable predictions and enhance the overall classification results. The proposed technique shows an enhancement in the effectiveness of the classification results.
