"Women Health Matters"- Prediction of Breast Cancer Using Machine Learning Algorithm- A Review

Abstract

In recent years, Breast cancer is the most frequently diagnosed cancer in women and it has ranked second among causes for cancer related death in women. Also with rapid population growth in Indian Context in recent times, early detection of disease has become a crucial problem. Now a day's use there exists huge utilization of machine learning algorithms in healthcare industry, especially in the research areas where the cost incurred for data collection is very high. In medical field a computer aided disease detection system assists to medical practitioners in disease diagnosis and offers reliable service and rapid response as well as decreases the risk of death. Along with the medical technology and information technology, various methods have been developed to detect the presence of breast cancer which includes the machine learning techniques.The purpose of this study is to review the relevant machine learning algorithms and its applications in healthcare units especially for breast cancer dataset. This paper mainly focuses on various machine learning techniques used in data mining for prediction of breast cancer. This paper recommends for future research in various applications of machine learning in health care  units especially for breast cancer patients. The literature has shown that the past and ongoing research has a huge suggestion in improving the clinical outcome in breast cancer.
