Cancer recurrence prediction using machine learning

Cancer is one of the deadliest diseases in the world and is responsible for around 13% of all deaths world-wide. Cancer incidence rate is growing at an alarming rate in the world. Despite the fact that cancer is preventable and curable in early stages, the vast majority of patients are diagnosed wit...
