Breast cancer is a global problem that highlights the need for accurate and efficient diagnostic methods. The aim of this study is to improve patient outcomes by using machine learning approaches to boost early breast cancer diagnosis accuracy. This study examines the accuracy of six distinct machine learning algorithms using a sizable dataset Naive Bayes, Random Forest, Decision Trees, K-nearest neighbors (KNN), Logistic Regression, and Support Vector Machines (SVM) can all be utilized. The models provide promising results, with accuracy levels between 94% and 97%. In addition to accuracy evaluations, this study fully assesses these models using a variety of metrics and uses techniques like cross-validation to guarantee resilience and dependability. Additionally, to maximize model performance and interpretability, the study investigates the possibilities of ensemble approaches and feature selection strategies. The findings of the study offer valuable insights into the application of machine learning methods to enhance the detection of breast cancer. These results demonstrate the effectiveness of several algorithms and present prospects for more advancements in this critical field of medicine.
