Lung Cancer Prediction Using Machine

Learning

Overview: Lung cancer is one of the leading causes of cancer-related deaths


worldwide. Early detection is critical to improve survival rates, and advances in
machine learning (ML) offer promising tools for accurate and timely diagnosis.

Objective: To leverage ML techniques to predict lung cancer based on clinical


data and medical imaging, thereby aiding in early intervention and treatment.
Literature Review
Existing Approaches:
1. Machine Learning: Various ML algorithms like Decision Trees, Support Vector
Machines, and Neural Networks have been employed to detect cancer.
2. Medical Imaging Techniques: CT scans and X-rays are widely used for
diagnosing lung cancer, and image processing techniques enhance these
methods.
3. Clinical Data Analysis: Studies focus on analyzing patient demographics,
symptoms, and medical history to predict lung cancer risks.

Limitations: Many existing models lack precision due to the imbalance of


datasets, limited features, and insufficient training data.
Research Gap

Key Challenges:
1. Lack of comprehensive, high-quality datasets combining both clinical and imaging
data.
2. Existing models fail to achieve high accuracy due to imbalanced class distribution
(more non-cancer cases than cancer cases).
3. Limited use of deep learning for feature extraction from imaging data.
4. Insufficient focus on early-stage detection of lung cancer.

Objective: To address these challenges by developing a hybrid model that integrates


clinical and imaging data for more accurate predictions.
Research Methodology and
Technology Used
1.Data Collection: The dataset consists of clinical features (age, smoking history,
etc.) and medical images (CT scans).

2.Preprocessing: Data cleaning, normalization, and handling missing values. Image


preprocessing includes resizing and filtering to enhance important features.

3.ML Algorithms:

1. Random Forest and SVM for classification of clinical data.

2. Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) for analyzing medical images.

3.Integration of clinical and imaging data for enhanced predictive power.

4.Evaluation Metrics: Accuracy, sensitivity, specificity, and ROC-AUC score to


measure model performance.
