Abstract

This paper presents a comparative analysis of ten machine learning algorithms for early detection of lung cancer. Models including Logistic Regression, Decision Tree, KNN, Naïve Bayes (Gaussian and Multinomial), SVM, Random Forest, XGBoost, Gradient Boosting, and MLP were evaluated. Gradient Boosting achieved the highest accuracy, while Multinomial Naïve Bayes performed the lowest. The study emphasizes the importance of early diagnosis and proposes future integration with CT scan-based deep learning models.

Conclusion

Early detection of lung cancer is critical for improving survival rates. This study demonstrates that ML algorithms can achieve high accuracy in predicting lung cancer using clinical variables. Gradient Boosting emerged as the most effective model. Future work will explore CT scan image integration and deep learning for enhanced diagnostic precision.
