Machine Learning Applied To Cervical Cancer Data

Abstract

Cervical cancer is a type of cancer that occurs in the cells of the cervix. Cervix is the lower part of the uterus that connects to the vagina. It arises due to the abnormal growth of cells and spreads to other parts of the body. Smoking is also considered as one of the main causes for cervical cancer. Long term use of Oral contraceptive pills can also cause cancer. Also having multiple pregnancies can cause cervical cancer. Cervical cancer often has no symptoms in its early stages. It is fatal most of the time. The most common symptom is unusual vaginal bleeding. Here the machine learning algorithms are used to predict the occurrence of cervical cancer. Predicting the presence of cervical cancer can help the diagnosis process to start at an earlier stage.
