In this article I will show you how to create your very own machine learning python program to detect breast cancer from data. Breast Cancer (BC) is a common cancer for women around the world, and early detection of BC can greatly improve prognosis and survival chances by promoting clinical treatment to patients early. So it’s amazing to be able to possibly help save lives just by using data, python, and machine learning!

If you prefer not to read this article and would like a video representation of it, you can check out the YouTube Video below. It goes through everything in this article with a little more detail, and will help make it easy for you to start programming your own Machine Learning model even if you don’t have the programming language Python installed on your computer. Or you can use both as supplementary materials for learning about Machine Learning !

Start Programming:

The first thing that I like to do before writing a single line of code is to put in a description in comments of what the code does. This way I can look back…
