Metastatic Breast Cancer Prognostication Through Multimodal Integration of Dimensionality Reduction Algorithms and Classification Algorithms
Author(s): Bliss Singhal* and Fnu Pooja
Machine Learning (ML) is a branch of Artificial Intelligence (AI) where computers analyze data and find patterns in the data. The study focuses on the detection of metastatic cancer using ML. Metastatic cancer is the point where the cancer has spread to other parts of the body and is the cause of approximately 90% of cancer related deaths. Normally, pathologists spend hours each day to manually classify whether tumors are benign or malignant. This tedious task contributes to mislabeling metastasis being over 60% of time and emphasizes the importance to be aware of human error, and other inefficiencies. ML is a good candidate to improve the correct identification of metastatic cancer saving thousands of lives and can also improve the speed and efficiency of the process thereby taking less resources and time. So far, deep learning methodology of AI has been used in the research to detec.. View More»
