Title
Clinical Lung Cancer Screening Model
Summary
The purpose of this project is to train a machine learning classifier to perform early prediction of lung cancer and COPD. The model will recommend that high risk users see a doctor based on their clinical screening responses. The model will use only screening questions and will not take x-rays and scans into account. The model will also identify users with little to no risk of lung cancer and COPD.
Aims

- The model makes an accurate prediction of lung cancer and/or COPD diagnoses given the clinical screening questions
- The model identifies high risk users and recommends to have appropriate care.
- The model identifies low risk users and recommends to have appropriate care.
- The model makes a prediction without requiring x-rays or scans to be uploaded
