Project Title

“A Real Time Medical Application for Lung Cancer Prediction

using Machine Learning”

Abstract

Researchers have widely used statistical and machine learning techniques to construct
prediction models in several domains such as prediction of software faults, spam detection,
disease diagnosis, and financial fraud identification. The prediction of patients prone to lung
cancer can help doctors in their decision making regarding their treatments. In this regard, this
project work attempts to evaluate the discriminative power of several predictors in the project
work to increase the efficiency of lung cancer detection through their symptoms. A number of
classifiers including Support Vector Machine (SVM), C4.5 Decision tree, Multi-Layer
Perceptron, Neural Network, Naive Bayes (NB) are available and we use one of the efficient
algorithm called “KNN algorithm or Naïve Bayes algorithm” and evaluated on a benchmark
datasets obtained from UCI repository. The performance is also analyzed with well-known
ensembles confusion matrix. There are many research works on this topic where they have built
models and shown results, around 90% accuracy generated using R language, Python language
and data science tools. But all these works are just models, cannot be used as application useful
in real time. In our project work we build an application with model that can predict lung cancer
at early stages and provides doctors with the information of how to avoid disease and handle
patients and treat better. Proposed system is a real time medical system useful for hospitals and
doctors and built using Microsoft tools such as Visual Studio tool and SQL Server tool.
