3. The apparatus of claim 1 , further comprising input interface circuitry configured to receive a selection instruction for the mark representing the similar patient, wherein

the processing circuitry generates an image displaying detailed information concerning the selected similar patient in accordance with the selection instruction.

4. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the processing circuitry predicts the first value representing the treatment effect and the second value representing the side effect by substituting information acquired during a treatment of the designated patient into the calculation expression.

5. The apparatus of claim 1 , further comprising input interface circuitry configured to receive an input of a narrow down condition, wherein

the processing circuitry acquires the third value representing the treatment effect and the fourth value representing the side effect based on information concerning a similar patient satisfying the narrow down condition.

6. The apparatus of claim 5 , wherein the narrow down condition comprises a condition concerning resource management data.

7. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the similar patient comprises a plurality of similar patients, and

the processing circuitry

acquires the third values representing the treatment effect and the fourth values representing the side-effect at the check time point based on the second information concerning the plurality of similar patients,

generates the map image in which marks representing the designated patient and the plurality of similar patients are arranged based on the first to fourth values,

selects a similar patient for each area set in advance in the map image among the plurality of similar patients, the third value and the fourth value of the selected similar patient being most favorable in the area, and

assigns the selected similar patient with a mark identifiable relative to marks representing other similar patients.

8. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the processing circuitry displays, in the map image, a change from a map image generated in the past.

9. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the processing circuitry displays a change from a map image concerning another check time point in the generated map image.

10. The apparatus of claim 1 , further comprising

input interface circuitry configured to receive a request for detailed information of the third value, wherein

the processing circuitry generates an image displaying the detailed information of the third value in accordance with the request.

11. The apparatus of claim 1 , further comprising input interface circuitry configured to receive a request for detailed information of the fourth value, wherein

the processing circuitry generates an image displaying the detailed information of the fourth value in accordance with the request.

12. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the similar patient comprises a plurality of similar patients, and

the processing circuitry

acquires the third values representing the treatment effect and the fourth values representing the side-effect at the check time point based on the second information concerning the plurality of similar patients,

generates the map image in which marks representing the designated patient and the plurality of similar patients are arranged based on the first to fourth values,

calculates a ratio of the number of similar patients arranged in each area relative to the number of the plurality of similar patients, the areas being set in advance in the map image, and

generates an image displaying the calculated ratios.

13. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein

the similar patient comprises a plurality of similar patients, and

the processing circuitry

selects a similar patient who has undergone a treatment stage corresponding to the designated patient from the plurality of similar patients, and

acquires the third value and the fourth value based on the second information concerning the selected similar patient.

14. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the processing circuitry is configured to acquire the second information concerning the similar patient similar using one of data analysis and statistical analysis on similar patient data stored in a database.

15. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the processing circuitry is configured to:

display second marks of different form than the selectable marks in the areas, corresponding to a similar patient progressing most satisfactorily in an area.

16. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the processing circuitry is configured to:

display a corresponding treatment plan when a selectable mark is selected.

17. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the processing circuitry is configured to:
