Oral cancer poses a significant challenge in oncology, necessitating early detection and accurate prognosis for improved patient survival rates.
Recent advancements in machine learning and data mining have transformed conventional diagnostic approaches, offering advanced tools for distinguishing between benign and malignant oral lesions.
This study reviews state-of-the-art data mining methodologies like Neural Networks, K-Nearest Neighbors (KNN), Support Vector Machines (SVM), and ensemble learning techniques, specifically applied to oral cancer diagnosis and prognosis.
A comprehensive analysis indicates that Neural Networks outperform other models, achieving an impressive 93.6% accuracy in predicting oral cancer.
The study emphasizes the advantages of incorporating feature selection and dimensionality reduction methods to enhance model performance in diagnosing and prognosing oral cancer.
These findings highlight the potential of advanced data mining techniques in facilitating early detection, optimizing treatment approaches, and ultimately enhancing patient outcomes in oral oncology.
