Resumo(s): | Gastric cancer is one of the most prevalent types of cancer in the whole world, affecting millions of people over the last decades. Its symptoms are ambiguous, which leads to late diagnoses, reducing the patients' chances of survival. In most countries, routine screenings are not usual, which also contributes to the detection of this gastric malignancy in later and more dangerous (and often fatal)stages. One of the main focus of improving healthcare services related to gastric cancer relies on increasing the survival rates. This and predicting if a patient will suffer from any complication following the surgery can aid the healthcare professionals in selecting better and more efficient treatment strategies. Thus, this constitutes as the aims of this study which will test and compare a set of classification models in order to improve the prediction accuracy. Data mining techniques will be put into use, since it's been proved they are one of the best ways of producing useful information for many businesses, including healthcare. |
