Abstract: Data is growing exponentially at a faster rate with the growing population. Today, we are involved in building models to predict several diseases and cancer is one of the major diseases which requires a model to predict the disease at an early stage. Most of time, cancer is diagnosed at the later stage, i.e., stage 4. Diagnosing cancer at stage 1 can increase the survival rate of the patient by 85%. Hence the goal of the article is to predict cancer during stage 1 itself. Another challenge the article addresses is handling huge amount of cancer data in order to come up with the model that performs accurate prediction.

Keywords: classification; gradient descent; predictive model; support vector machine; SVM; cloud computing; machine learning; precision; recall; classification accuracy.
