Abstract

Breast cancer tissues grow when cells in the breast expand and divide uncontrollably, resulting in a lump of tissue commonly called and named tumor. Breast cancer is the second most prevalent cancer among women, following skin cancer. While it is more commonly diagnosed in women aged 50 and above, it can affect individuals of any age. Although it is rare, men can also develop breast cancer, accounting for less than 1% of all cases, with approximately 2,600 cases reported annually in the United States. Early detection of breast tumors is crucial in reducing the risk of developing breast cancer. A publicly available dataset containing features of breast tumors was utilized to identify breast tumors using machine learning and deep learning techniques. Various prediction models were constructed, including logistic regression (LR), decision tree (DT), random forest (RF), support vector machine (SVM), Gradient Boosting (GB), Extreme Gradient Boosting (XGB), Light GBM, and a recurrent neural network (RNN) model. These models were trained to classify and predict breast tumor cases based on the provided features.
