Cancer diagnosis is one among the foremost studied problems within the medical domain. Several researchers have focused so as to enhance performance and achieve to get satisfactory results. Breast cancer[1] represents the second primary explanation for cancer deaths in women today and has become the foremost common cancer among women both within the developed and therefore the developing world in the last years. Breast cancer diagnosis is used to categorize the patients among benign (lacks ability to invade neighbouring tissue) from malignant (ability to invade neighbouring tissue) categories. In this study, the diagnosis of breast cancer from mammograms is complemented by using various classification techniques. In artificial intelligence, machine learning is a discipline which allows to the machine to evolve through a process. Machine learning[2] is widely utilized in bio-informatics and particularly in carcinoma diagnosis. This paper explores the various data processing approaches using Classification which may be applied on carcinoma data to create deep predictions. Besides this, this study predicts the simplest Model yielding high performance by evaluating dataset on various classifiers.[4-8] The results that are obtained through the research are assessed on various parameters like Accuracy, RMSE Error, Sensitivity, Specificity etc. Our work is going to be performed on the WBCD database (Wisconsin carcinoma Database) [12]obtained by the university of Wisconsin Hospital.

Machine Learning Classification

Breast Cancer (BC) is amongst the most common and leading causes of deaths in women throughout the world. Recently, classification and data analysis tools are being widely used in the medical field for diagnosis, prognosis and decision making to help lower down the risks of people dying or suffering from diseases. Advanced machine learning methods have proven to give hope for patients as this has helped the doctors in early detection of diseases like Breast Cancer that can be fatal, in support with providing accurate outcomes. However, the results highly depend on the techniques used for feature selection and classification which will produce a strong machine learning model. In this paper, a performance comparison is conducted using four classifiers which are Multilayer Perceptron (MLP), Support Vector Machine (SVM), K-Nearest Neighbors (KNN) and Random Forest on the Wisconsin Breast Cancer dataset to spot the most effective predictors. The main goal is to apply best machine learning classification methods to predict the Breast Cancer as benign or malignant using terms such as accuracy, f-measure, precision and recall. Experimental results show that Random forest is proven to achieve the highest accuracy of 99.26% on this dataset and features, while SVM and KNN show 97.78% and 97.04% accuracy respectively. MLP shows the least accuracy of 94.07%. All the experiments are conducted using RStudio as the data mining tool platform.
