The spread of cancer disease today worldwide is becoming rampant. Curbing the menace that the disease pose to the humanity has been a thing of concern and has put all hands on deck. Those that are health related workers and non-health related workers. The main objectives of this research work are to: test whether treatment Outcome (O) of cancer patients is dependent of Age (A) and Gender (G) from the two hospitals we have; check for the best model among various models that we have from the two locations; compare the result of the two hospitals in order to be able to conclude whether treatment outcome is the same from the two locations; and use the result of the two hospitals to determine what happen to cancer patients in South West region of Nigeria. We observed that Model (AO:GO which uses Age: Outcome of treatment and Gender: Outcome of treatment) has the minimum Akaike Information Criteria (AIC) value from the two hospitals and therefore is accepted to be the best model. We also observed that Age and Gender are individually independent of treatment outcome of cancer patients from the two hospitals. We can therefore conclude that the treatment outcomes from the two hospitals are the same and this implies that South-West region of Nigeria has the same treatment outcome for cancer patients.
