Brain tumors, which are abnormal growths of cells in the brain, represent a significant health concern, necessitating prompt and accurate detection for effective treatment. If left untreated, brain tumors can lead to severe complications, including cognitive impairment, paralysis, and even death. This study evaluates six machine learning classifiers: Support Vector Classifier (SVC), Logistic Regression Classifier, K-Nearest Neighbors (KNN) Classifier, Naive Bayes Classifier, Decision Tree Classifier, and Random Forest Classifier - on a comprehensive brain tumor dataset. Our results showed that Random Forest achieved the highest accuracy of 98.27%, demonstrating its potential in detecting brain tumors. However, Support Vector Classifier (SVC) emerged as the top performer, achieving an impressive accuracy of 97.74%, showcasing its exceptional ability to detect brain tumors accurately. This significant improvement in SVC’s performance highlights its potential as a reliable tool for medical diagnostics, contributing to the development of efficient and accurate automated systems for early brain tumor diagnosis, ultimately aiming to improve patient outcomes and treatment efficacy.
