Abstract
is a big issue all around the world. It is a disease, which is fatal in many cases and has affected the lives of many and will continue to affect the lives of many more. Breast cancer represents the second primary cause of cancer deaths in women today and has become the most common cancer among women both in the developed and the developing world in the last years. 40,000 women die in a year from this disease, which is one woman every 13 minute dying from this disease everyday. Early detection of breast cancer is far easier to cure. This paper presents a decision tree based data mining technique for early detection of breast cancer. Breast cancer diagnosis differentiates benign (lacks ability to invade neighboring tissue) from malignant (ability to invade neighboring tissue) breast tumors. This paper also discusses various data mining approaches that have been utilized for breast cancer diagnosis, and also summarizes breast cancer in general (types, risk factors, symptoms and treatment).

Comparison of supervised machine learning classification techniques in prediction of locoregional recurrences in early oral tongue cancer.

TL;DR: The findings show that the best classification accuracy was achieved with the boosted decision tree algorithm, which outperformed the DOI-based approach and with few parameters identified in the PFI analysis, ML technique still showed the ability to predict locoregional recurrence.

An improved random forest-based rule extraction method for breast cancer diagnosis

TL;DR: Improved Random Forest-based rule extraction (IRFRE) method is developed to derive accurate and interpretable classification rules from a decision tree ensemble for breast cancer diagnosis and can be popularized to other cancer diagnoses in practice, which provides an option to a more interpretable, more accurate cancer diagnosis process.
