ML Assistance in Cancer Detection & Treatment

Cancer is one of the most dreaded diseases of human beings and is a major cause of death all over the globe. More than a million Indians suffer from cancer and a large number of them die from it annually. ML is widely used in the early diagnosis and prognosis of cancer. A variety of machine learning algorithms, including Artificial Neural Network, Bayesian Networks, Support Vector Machines and Decision Tress have been widely used in cancer research for the development of predictive models which are trained by the researchers to give effective and accurate decision. Machine Learning is widely used in the treatment of cancer. Machine Learning is an excellent tool for finding relationships between variables in your data that are too complex for human to economist. This work presents an insight on how machine learning technology is contributing in the field of healthcare especially in cancer diagnosis and its treatment.
