摘要

It is both the most frequent and lethal cancer among women worldwide, and the second source of tumor deaths. According to WHO estimates, breast cancer killed about 627,000 women all over the world in 2018 alone. Early detection is the key to early treatment and better survival. However, traditional detection by mammograms involves a lot of false positives and false negatives, which may lead to great risks for patients. In this respect, the presented research offers a hybrid machine learning model, which includes several algorithms that are aimed at improving detection accuracy: Support Vector Machine (SVM), K-Nearest Neighbor (KNN), Random Forest (RF), AdaBoost, Principal Component Analysis (PCA), Gradient Boosting (GB), Gradient Descent (GD), Regression Tree (RT), and Decision Tree (DT), for accurate breast cancer detection. This is because the hybrid model utilizes the strengths associated with each of these algorithms while guaranteeing stronger performance and reliability in predictions. The results obtained using benchmark datasets have shown that the proposed model could offer better accuracy and robustness in the diagnosis of breast cancer, thus providing a hopefully better alternative for more reliable diagnostic tools with easy accessibility. Several discussions on the dataset and methodologies adopted were highlighted and emphasized the importance of the hybrid model in the clinic.
