Breast-cancer-prediction-using-machine-learning

Breast cancer (BC) is one of the most common cancers among women worldwide, representing the majority of new cancer cases and cancer-related deaths according to global statistics

The dataset I have used in this repo is publicly available and was created by Dr. William H. Wolberg, physician at the University Of Wisconsin Hospital at Madison, Wisconsin, USA. link: http://archive.ics.uci.edu/ml/datasets/breast+cancer+wisconsin+%28diagnostic%29

Ten real-valued features are computed for each cell nucleus:

radius (mean of distances from center to points on the perimeter)
texture (standard deviation of gray-scale values)
perimeter
area
smoothness 
compactness 
concavity 
concave points (number of concave portions of the contour)
symmetry
fractal dimension 

Through this features one can predict the tumor is either Malignant(cancer causing) or Benign(normal tumor) using machine learning

The algorithm that i have used is Support Vector Machines which have 97.2% accuracy in prediction.
