This document discusses a novel approach combining Support Vector Machines (SVM) and Genetic Algorithms (GA) to optimize feature selection for breast cancer detection, addressing the high mortality rates associated with the disease. The study analyzes datasets, demonstrating that the Sequential Minimal Optimization (SMO) method outperforms other algorithms in accuracy for distinguishing between benign and malignant tumors. The proposed method aims to enhance diagnostic precision while reducing processing time, showcasing significant results using a comprehensive dataset from Wisconsin.
