Development of Machine Learning Model for Breast Cancer Prediction from Ultrasound Images

Abstract

In the past decade, the revolution in information and computing technology has transformed approaches to breast cancer detection and treatment, with Machine Learning technologies offering significant potential in health data analysis. However, the development of accurate and reliable predictive models is faced with the challenges of data heterogeneity and complexity. This research proposes the development and validation of Machine Learning-based classification models using Support Vector Machine and Principal Component Analysis to address these issues, targeting improved accuracy in the early detection of breast cancer. The methodology applied involved the use of a breast cancer dataset from Kaggle, with data analysis conducted through inductive methods to identify relevant patterns. The combination of Support Vector Machine and Principal component Analysis achieved 89% accuracy in medical image classification, proving its efficacy in breast cancer diagnostics and providing a more reliable model for early detection. The implications of these findings are significant, both theoretically and practically, for the fields of Machine Learning and Breast Cancer, expanding the understanding of the applications of advanced data processing techniques. Although this study faces limitations in the variability of the dataset's patient characteristics, the results offer a basis for further development in diagnostic technology while recommending the integration of Deep Learning and Big Data analysis as a direction for future research.
