A Heuristic Machine Learning-Based Optimization Technique to Predict Lung Cancer Patient Survival

Abstract

Cancer has been a significant threat to human health and well-being, posing the biggest obstacle in the history of human sickness. The high death rate in cancer patients is primarily due to the complexity of the disease and the wide range of clinical outcomes. Increasing the accuracy of the prediction is equally crucial as predicting the survival rate of cancer patients, which has become a key issue of cancer research. Many models have been suggested at the moment. However, most of them simply use single genetic data or clinical data to construct prediction models for cancer survival. There is a lot of emphasis in present survival studies on determining whether or not a patient will survive five years. The personal issue of how long a lung cancer patient will survive remains unanswered. The proposed technique Naive Bayes and SSA is estimating the overall survival time with lung cancer. Two machine learning challenges are derived from a single customized query. To begin with, determining whether a patient will survive for more than five years is a simple binary question. The second step is to develop a five-year survival model using regression analysis. When asked to forecast how long a lung cancer patient would survive within five years, the mean absolute error (MAE) of this technique’s predictions is accurate within a month. Several biomarker genes have been associated with lung cancers. The accuracy, recall, and precision achieved from this algorithm are 98.78%, 98.4%, and 98.6%, respectively.
