Machine learning-based diagnosis of breast cancer utilizing feature optimization technique

Breast cancer disease is recognized as one of the leading causes of death in women worldwide after lung cancer. Breast cancer refers to a malignant neoplasm that develops from breast cells. Developed and less developed countries both are suffering from this extensive cancer. This cancer can be recuperated if it is detected at an early stage. Many researchers have proposed several machine learning techniques to predict breast cancer with the highest accuracy in the past years. In this research work, the Wisconsin Breast Cancer Dataset (WBCD) has been used as a training set from the UCI machine learning repository to compare the performance of the various machine learning techniques. Different kinds of machine learning classifiers such as support vector machine…
