Abstract: The prediction of breast cancer recurrence is a crucial problem in cancer research that requires accurate and efficient prediction models. This study aims to compare the performance of different machine learning techniques in predicting types of breast cancer recurrence. In this study, the performance of logistic regression, decision tree, K-Nearest Neighbors, and artificial neural network algorithms was compared on a breast cancer recurrence dataset. The results show that the artificial neural network algorithm outperformed the other algorithms with 91% accuracy, followed by the decision tree (DT) algorithm and K-Nearest Neighbors (kNN) also performed well with accuracies of 90.10% and 88.20%, respectively, while the logistic regression algorithm had the lowest accuracy of 84.60%. The results of this study provide insight into the effectiveness of different machine learning techniques in predicting types of breast cancer recurrence and could guide the development of more accurate prediction models.
