An Approach using Machine Learning Model for Breast Cancer Prediction

Abstract

Breast cancer is one of the most common diseases that causes the death of several women around the world. So, early detection is required to help decrease breast cancer mortality rates and save the lives of cancer patients. Hence early detection is a significant process to have a healthy lifestyle. Machine learning provides the greatest support to detect breast cancer in the early stage, since it cannot be cured and brings great complications to our health system. In this paper, novel models are generated for prediction of breast cancer using Gaussian Naive Bayes (GNB), Neighbour’s Classifier, Support Vector Classifier (SVC) and Decision Tree Classifier (CART). This paper presents a comparative machine learning study based to detect breast cancer by employing four different Machine Learning models. In this paper, experiment analysis carried out on a Wisconsin Breast Cancer dataset to evaluate the performance for the models. The computation of the model is simple; hence enabling an efficient process for prediction. The best overall accuracy for breast cancer detection is achieved equal to 94%. using Gaussian Naive Bayes.
