Description
Summary:Conservative surgery plus radiotherapy is an alternative to radical mastectomy in the early stages of breast cancer, presenting equivalent survival rates. Data mining facilitates to manage the data and provide the useful medical progression and treatment of cancerous conditions as these methods can help to reduce the number of false positive and false negative decisions. Various machine learning techniques can be used to support the doctors in effective and accurate decision making. In this paper, various classifiers have been tested for the prediction of type of breast cancer recurrence and the results show that neural networks outperform others.
