Abstract
Background: Recurrence is an important cornerstone in breast cancer behavior, intrinsically related to mortality. In spite of its relevance, it is rarely recorded in the majority of breast cancer datasets, which makes research in its prediction more difficult. Objectives: To evaluate the performance of machine learning techniques applied to the prediction of breast cancer recurrence. Material and Methods: Revision of published works that used machine learning techniques in local and open source databases between 1997 and 2014. Results: The revision showed that it is difficult to obtain a representative dataset for breast cancer recurrence and there is no consensus on the best set of predictors for this disease. High accuracy results are often achieved, yet compromising sensitivity. The missing data and class imbalance problems are rarely addressed and most often the chosen performance metrics are inappropriate for the context. Discussion and Conclusions: Although different techniques have been used, prediction of breast cancer recurrence is still an open problem. The combination of different machine learning techniques, along with the definition of standard predictors for breast cancer recurrence seem to be the main future directions to obtain better results.

Prediction of Breast Cancer using Machine Learning Techniques
IC3-2022: Proceedings of the 2022 Fourteenth International Conference on Contemporary ComputingBreast cancer is a topic that is frequently discussed these days. It is one of the most widespread diseases and forms of cancer. The National Cancer Institute says that the second most frequent malignancy in women is breast cancer. Every year, around ...
Breast cancer classification using deep belief networks
We present a CAD scheme using DBN unsupervised path followed by NN supervised path.Our two-phase method 'DBN-NN' classification accuracy is higher than using one phase.Overall accuracy of DBN-NN reaches 99.68% with 100% sensitivity & 99.47% ...
Predicting the recurrence of breast cancer using machine learning algorithms
AbstractBreast cancer is one of the most common types of cancer among Jordanian women. Recently, healthcare organizations in Jordan have adopted electronic health records, which makes it feasible for researchers to access huge amounts of medical records. ...
