Cancer is an aggressive disease with low survival rate. Ironically treatment of cancer is a long and very costly due to high recurrence and mortality rate. Every year, 4th February is observed as world cancer day to raise awareness of cancer and to encourage its prevention, detection and prevention. It is organized by union for international cancer control (UICC). The emphasis is to overcome barrier to early diagnosis, treatment and palliative care. The cumulative effort is taken to improve cancer control and achieve global targets to reduce premature mortality from cancer and NCDs. Globally approximately 38 million people die of non-communicable diseases (NCDs) e.g. heart disease, cancer, and diabetes every year, with nearly 8 million of them dying from cancer. This number is expected to rise to 13 million by 2030 (https://www.cancer.org/). Therefore urgent action is needed to raise awareness about cancer, dispel myths and misconceptions, and develop practical strategies to address the disease.
Accurate early diagnosis and prognosis prediction of cancer are essential to enhance the patient's survival rate. In recent years the use of artificial intelligence (AI), especially machine learning and deep learning, has found popular applications in cancer prediction.
