Diagnosis of Cancer Using Machine Learning

Abstract

Cancer   is causing the deaths of millions of people worldwide.  Artificial intelligence  (AI)  aims to mimic human cognitive functions. It is bringing  a paradigm shift to healthcare, powered  by the increasing availability  of healthcare  data and rapid progress  of analytic techniques.  AI  can be applied to various types of healthcare data (structured and unstructured). Popular AI  techniques include  machine  learning methods  for structured  data, such as the classical support vector machine and neural network, and the modern deep learning, as well as natural language  processing for unstructured data. Major disease areas that use AI tools include cancer, neurology and cardiology. In this paper, we are proposing a method of detection of cancer using machine learning. In this paper, we have used 4 different machine learning algorithms to predict the cancer type. The Accuracy has also been analysed.
