Breast Cancer Classification Model

Using thirty cell characteristics we created a list of the most significant cell characteristics of cancer to the least indicative.

The importance of the features like concave points_mean, concave points_worst, and area_worst can be explained by how well they reflect the malignancy characteristics of breast cancer:

Concave Points_Mean: This feature represents the average number of indentations found on the edge of the cell nuclei. Cancer cells often have more and deeper indentations on their surface compared to normal cells, which is why this feature is important.

Concave Points_Worst: This takes into account the most significant indentations on the cell nuclei within a sample. Since the most aggressive and malignant cells tend to have the most pronounced concave points, this metric becomes crucial for identifying the severity of the cancer.

Area_Worst: The size of the tumor is a direct indicator of its stage, with larger tumors often being more aggressive and potentially malignant. Measuring the area of the largest cross-section of a tumor can give a clear indication of its advancement, making it a key feature for assessing the severity of the disease.

These features are generally more indicative of malignancy due to the irregularities and changes they represent in cell and tumor structure, which are common hallmarks of cancerous growth.
