Transparent precision: Explainable AI empowered breast cancer recommendations for personalized treatment

Abstract

<p>Breast cancer stands as a prevalent global concern, prompting extensive research into its origins and personalized treatment through Artificial Intelligence (AI)-driven precision medicine. However, AI's black box nature hinders result acceptance. This study delves into Explainable AI (XAI) integration for breast cancer precision medicine recommendations. Transparent AI models, fuelled by patient data, enable personalized treatment recommendations. Techniques like feature analysis and decision trees enhance transparency, fostering trust between medical practitioners and patients. This harmonizes AI's potential with the imperative for clear medical decisions, propelling breast cancer care within the precision medicine era. This research work is dedicated to leveraging clinical and genomic data from samples of metastatic breast cancer. The primary aim is to develop a machine learning (ML) model capable of predicting optimal treatment approaches, including but not limited to hormonal therapy, chemotherapy, and anti-HER2 therapy. The objective is to enhance treatment selection by harnessing advanced computational techniques and comprehensive data analysis. A decision tree model developed here for the prediction of suitable personalized treatment for breast cancer patients achieves 99.87% overall prediction accuracy. Thus, the use of XAI in healthcare will build trust in doctors as well as patients.</p>
