Abstract
Breast cancer is one of the most prevalent cancers affecting women globally and continues to be a leading cause of cancer-related deaths. Early and accurate diagnosis significantly improves survival rates, but conventional diagnostic techniques are often time-consuming, costly, and prone to subjective interpretation. To address these challenges, this study focuses on developing an efficient breast cancer detection system using machine learning (ML) and deep learning (DL) algorithms. By leveraging Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) and several traditional ML models, the system aims to classify breast cancer efficiently based on imaging data. Utilising the Wisconsin Breast Cancer Dataset (WBCD), the project evaluates the performance of various machine learning models, including SVM, KNN, Logistic Regression, Random Forest, Decision Tree, Naïve Bayes, AdaBoost, and XGBoost, based on accuracy, precision, and robustness. The outcomes indicate that machine learning can significantly enhance early detection efforts, providing clinicians with reliable decision-support tools.
