Abstract
Among the most important health concerns in the world, and the number one cause of death in women, is breast cancer. Bearing in mind that there are more than 100 types of cancer, each presenting different symptoms, its early detection is indeed a big challenge. The prevalence of breast cancer indicates the prudent need for effective diagnostic and prognostic approaches. From 2016 to 2020, 19.6 deaths per 100, 000 women occurred annually due to breast cancer-a factor indicating the importance of early treatments. Machine Learning has become important for the improvement of early diagnosis and prognosis that may have the potential to reduce mortality rates. Some considerable volume of research work has been carried out on the use of Machine Learning algorithms for accurate diagnosis of breast cancer. In this research has done extensive algorithm evaluation like SVM, DT, RF, Logistic regression, KNN and ANN using datasets CDP Breast Cancer. The important performance indicators observed for each of these algorithms included accuracy, precision, recall, sensitivity, and specificity. These findings are an important step forward in the application of Machine Learning to improve diagnostic accuracy, thus enabling early detection and mitigating the major consequences of breast cancer on global health.
