Abstract
Recent technological developments have led to an increase in the size and types of data in the medical field derived from multiple platforms such as proteomic, genomic, imaging, and clinical data. Many machine learning models have been developed to support precision/personalized medicine initiatives such as computer-aided detection, diagnosis, prognosis, and treatment planning by using large-scale medical data. Bias and class imbalance represent two of the most pressing challenges for machine learning-based problems, particularly in medical (e.g., oncologic) data sets, due to the limitations in patient numbers, cost, privacy, and security of data sharing, and the complexity of generated data. Depending on the data set and the research question, the methods applied to address class imbalance problems can provide more effective, successful, and meaningful results. This review discusses the essential strategies for addressing and mitigating the class imbalance problems for different medical data types in the oncologic domain.
