Determination of Post Thoracic Surgery using Supervised Machine Learning Algorithms

Abstract

Lung Cancer is a disease characterized by the uncontrolled cell growth in tissues of the lungs. It is one of the dangerous and life taking disease in the world. One of the major causes of the death in human beings is Lung Cancer. The early detection of lung cancer and also the proper medication is important for the diagnosis process and it gives the higher chances for successful treatment. Therefore, the objective of this project is to develop a system that predicts the life expectancy post thoracic surgery for the lung cancer infected patient. Once the cancer is detected, the Thoracic Surgery is one of the treatment options for the diagnosis of Lung Cancer. The project involves the analysis of the patient’s dataset who underwent Thoracic Surgery and an attempt is made to model a classifier that will predict the survival of the patient post the surgery. The dataset will be trained using four Supervised Machine Learning Algorithms Namely Linear Discriminant Analysis (LDA), Support Vector Machine (SVM), Random Forest and Logistic Regression. The classifier classifies the input attribute values and will predict whether the patient will survive for a minimum span of one-year post the surgery. This project may be considered as a promising tool to support the medical specialist to make a more precise diagnosis and prognosis concerning the lung nodules.
