It is  the second leading cause of women’s death, after lung cancer. Moreover, the  availability of medical data facilitates the development of related Artificial Intelligence Systems (AIS)<strong>.</strong> The diagnosis (or classification) of breast cancer is a delicate task, which requires efficient and robust classifiers. However,  classical classification methods (in which  a single basic classifier  ( estimator )) are generally confronted with the “bias-variance” dilemma. This, very often, affects seriously their efficiency and robustness. In this article, to mitigate this problem, we propose a new learning model called Triple-Stacking. This technique is composed of three (3) methods of statistical learning (Logistic Regression, Voting and Stacking) and a meta-learner (Decision Stump). The proposed model outperformed the existing ones on two different databases: Breast Cancer Wisconsin Original Data Set and Breast Cancer Wisconsin Diagnostic Data Set, with accuracies of  99.57% and 99.64%, respectively.</p> ER -
