Table 1 Dataset input features
Column | Feature | Description |
|---|---|---|
1 | Mass thickness | Benign cells tend to be in one layer, whereas cancer cells tend to be in multiple layers |
2 | Uniformity of cell size | Cancer cells have different sizes while benign cells are similar in size |
3 | Cell shape uniformity | Cancer cells have different shapes, whereas benign cells are similar in shape |
4 | Marginal bond | Benign cells apt to attach mutually but cancer cells tend to misplace this capability |
5 | Epithelial cell size | Epithelial cells that are significantly large may be a malignant cell |
6 | Bare nuclei | Bare nuclei are a term used for nuclei that are not surrounded by cytoplasm. They are usually observed in benign cells |
7 | Bland chromation | In benign cells, the nucleus (chromatin) is in the form of uniform texture, but cancer cells are not this way |
8 | Normal nucleoli | Normal nucleoli are small structures observed in cell nucleus. These nuclei are very small in benign cells (observable). However, they are large and distinctive in cancer cells |
9 | Mitosis division | Mitosis is the division of the cell nucleus into two daughter cells. Pathologists calculate the grade of cancer by counting the number of mitosis divisions |
