Medical science has discovered that people set a bigger possibility of countering free radicals and warding off illness by consumption of healthy foods and by increasing their resistant system. We adopt Apriori Algorithm to explore the relationship between treatment preferences, healthy food and survival of cancer patient based on their medical attributes. The publice-use data 2011 is used in this research. After the preprocessing of the data set, we apply Apriori algorithm of Association Rules and Decision Rule mining. As a result, we obtain a great deal of Association Rules related and Decision Rule supported. We pick up some easy understandable and comparable rules to discuss and show that data mining technique is efficient method to explore the relation between Cancer treatment preferences, food and survivability.
