Abstract

This study evaluates the performance of Support Vector Machine (SVM) and Naive Bayes algorithms in classifying breast cancer using the Breast Cancer Wisconsin dataset. Both models exhibited high accuracy, with Naive Bayes achieving a slightly higher overall accuracy of 97% and demonstrating a balanced performance between precision and recall. The SVM model showed strong proficiency in detecting positive cases, with an overall accuracy of 95%, though it faced minor challenges in recall for negative cases. These results highlight the effectiveness of both algorithms in breast cancer detection, emphasizing the significance of model selection based on specific diagnostic requirements. Although there are limitations, such as the small sample size and assumptions made in the model, the findings provide useful insights into the use of machine learning in medical diagnostics. This supports the idea that these models have the potential to enhance early detection and treatment results. Future research should focus on utilizing larger, more diverse datasets, exploring advanced feature processing techniques, and integrating additional algorithms to enhance further the accuracy and reliability of breast cancer detection systems.
