Abstract

Machine Learning (ML) methods have numerous promising applications in medicine, including cancer risk assessment, lesion detection using biomarkers and image segmentation, prediction of disease grading, staging, prognosis and therapy response and so on. The ML methods have the potential to improve analysis of various medical data, such as multidimensional numerical, visual and text data, compared to conventional statistical analysis. A brief overview presented in this chapter discusses the trends in predicting some types of cancer, including the application of Deep Learning (DL) methods.
