Cancer has been characterized as one of the leading diseases that causes death in humans. Breast cancer being a subtype of cancer causes death in one out of every eight women worldwide. The solution to counter this is by conducting early and accurate diagnosis for faster treatment. To achieve such accuracy in a short span of time proves difficult with existing techniques. In this paper, different machine learning algorithms which can be used as tools by physicians for early and effective detection and prediction of cancerous cells have been studied and introduced. The different algorithms introduced here are ANN, DT, Random Forest (RF), Naive Bayes Classifier (NBC), SVM and KNN. These algorithms are trained with a dataset that contain parameters describing the tumor of a person having breast cancer and are then used to classify and predict whether the cell is cancerous.

Melanoma is a mortal type of skin cancer. Early detection of melanoma significantly improves the patient’s chances of survival. Detection of melanoma at an early juncture demands expert doctors. The scarcity of such expert doctors is a major issue with healthcare systems globally. Computer-assisted diagnostics may prove helpful in this case. This paper proposes a health informatics system for melanoma identification using machine learning with dermoscopy skin images. In the proposed method, the features of dermoscopy skin images are extracted using the Haar wavelet pyramid various levels. These features are employed to train machine learning algorithms and ensembles for melanoma identification. The consideration of higher levels of Haar Wavelet Pyramid helps speed up the identification process. It is observed that the performance gradually improves from the Haar wavelet pyramid level 4x4 to 16x16, and shows marginal improvement further. The ensembles of machine learning algorithms have shown a boost in performance metrics compared to the use of individual machine learning algorithms.
