Title
Early Detection and Personalized Treatment of Colon Cancer: Integrating Genetic, Demographic, and Lifestyle Data

Summary
How can machine learning techniques be leveraged to predict and classify different stages of colon cancer based on diverse patient data, including genetic markers, demographic information, and lifestyle factors, in order to enhance early detection and personalized treatment strategies?

Aims

I am currently enrolled in the Masters of Applied Data Science program at Howard University. I am looking for a perfect PLCO dataset for use in the Applied Machine Learning course project under the guidance of Dr. Ameyaw (email address: edmundessah.ameyaw@howard.edu).
