Title
Carcinikos - Presentiment of Cancer in Male using multi modal techniques

Summary
Globally, noncommunicable diseases (NCDs) accounted for 71% of total deaths. In India, NCDs were estimated to account for 63% of all deaths, and cancer was one of the leading causes (9%). The relative proportion of patients according to clinical extent of disease at the time of diagnosis as seen in the pooled data of 58 HBCRs for common sites of cancer showed that the majority of patients with cancer were diagnosed as locally advanced/locoregional for breast (57.0%), cervix uteri (60.0%), head and neck (66.6%), and stomach (50.8%) cancer. With our project, we aim to predict the presence of rare cancers such as breast cancer, prostate gland cancer, oesophagus cancer in males at an early stage using multimodelling techniques and classification algorithms along with working with genetic algorithms to improve our accuracy.

Aims

o Doctors can use for Pre-Diagnosis/Prognosis.
o Patients can use for alerts.
o It would provide the patient with some form of guidance for further steps
