Abstract

Early detection of lung cancer is essential for improving treatment outcomes and patient survival rates. This paper presents a comparative evaluation of two classification algorithms: Decision Tree and Random Forest, focusing on both predictive performance and computational efficiency. The models were tested using 10-fold cross-validation to ensure robustness. Both algorithms achieved the same accuracy of 93.3%. However, Random Forest slightly outperformed Decision Tree in recall (88.8% vs. 87.9%), F1-score (92.2% vs. 92.1%), and AUC (0.94 vs. 0.91), while Decision Tree obtained higher precision (97% vs. 95.9%). In terms of computational efficiency, Decision Tree demonstrated faster training and testing times, lower memory usage, and reduced energy consumption compared to Random Forest. The results reveal a clear trade-off between prediction quality and resource usage, highlighting the importance of selecting algorithms not only for their accuracy but also for their practicality in real-world healthcare scenarios. This comprehensive evaluation provides valuable insights for developing intelligent decision support systems that are both effective and resource-efficient, especially in environments with limited computing capacity. These findings contribute to the advancement of resource-aware intelligent systems in the field of medical informatics.
