Novel Classification based approaches over Cancer Diseases

Abstract

One of the crucial applications of data mining is medical data mining (MDM) that diagnoses almost all medical syndromes. MDM incorporates with early predictions, existence and depth of any disease. In fact, MDM supplements the partial assistance of physicians. Though there were many works carried out in MDM, liver cancer is still considered to be a life threatening and has lowest survivability. Predicting the existence of liver cancer at the early stage is highly challengeable for the doctors. The goal of this review is to study the related works on cancer especially liver cancer, an experiment was carried out with the help of dataset to check out the performance of seven classification algorithms with the respect to time and accuracy. This paper also discussed some research key factors that could help the research fraternity to be focused on. I. INTRODUCTION Cancer disease is the abnormal growth of cells in particular organ that spreads over to invade other tissues of the body. Cancer can be triggered by both internal and external factors. Internal factors could be hormonal issues, mutation inheritance and body resistances. Consumption of tobacco, external radiation and chemicals ingesting are the main external factors that causes cancer. So far, more than 100 typical types of cancers are identified and named as the organ they formed. Few familiar cancer diseases are lung cancer, liver cancer, breast cancer etc. In general, cancers are formed on the functional organ cells of the human body. The life cycle of the cells begins by growing in a controlled way and divide to create more cells to keep the body fit. The cells die and replaced with new ones when they become old or damaged. However, occasionally this cycle fails or gets disturbed due to many reasons. At the point when this happens, cells don't kick the bucket of course and new cells are structured actually when the body does not require them. These additional cells may structure a mass of tissue called a tumor. Tumors can be either benevolent or Harmful. A few diseases don't structure tumors. For instance, leukemia is a tumor of the blood that does not structure tumors. [1] The medical term for liver cancer is Hepatocellular carcinoma. It is one of the most common malignancies in adults, and is more common for men than women. The existence of hepatocellular carcinoma varies extensively dependent on geographical location. Hepatocellular carcinoma is a malignant tumor composed of cells resembling hepatocytes;however, the similarity varies with the degree of differentiation. This type of liver cancer is possibly treatable by surgical resection. However, only those patients with localized disease are surgical candidates. Liver function impairment and degree of tumor localization determine patient prognosis proliferation. Clinical trials offer alternative treatment options for patients who are not candidates for resection. Figure 1depicts the diagram of the liver cancer
