Abstract: In a worldwide perspective of the most common cancer diseases, cervical cancer is ranked fourth most frequent whereas the worldwide mortality rate is at 54.56%. In the Philippines, the second leading site among women is cervical cancer next to breast cancer. Research shows that cervical cancer is one of the most treatable cancer forms if detected and managed early. Currently, the most reliable diagnosis and prevention method of cervical cancer is thru a regular testing via Pap Smear test and HPV vaccination being performed in hospitals worldwide. However, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in California, the cervical cancer screening rate of regular testing in hospitals went down significantly during the stay-at-home order by the government due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Also, there are limited research based on the behavior information in relation to cervical cancer risk prediction, but existing studies proves the possibility of the risk prediction based on behavior information. This paper presents an Artificial Neural Network-based model for early cervical cancer risk detection based on behavior information. The neural network was trained using scaled conjugate gradient back propagation. The system showed 98% overall correctness in early cervical cancer risk prediction.
