The most prevalent kind of cancer in women is found in the breasts, and it is called breast cancer. The method of research begins with a step that is necessary: the identification of breast cancer risk factors. The key approach for attaining the basic aims of this study, which were to determine the predictors of breast cancer risk variables and the relative value of each predictor, was to make use of neural network analysis. These were the primary goals of this study. The present investigation was based on an analysis of neural networks that was carried out on data that was presented on Kaggle [1]. The breast cancer risk variables that can be utilized to predict the disease are the primary focus of this collection. The only dependent variable was the result, which was either no disease (1) or disease (2). A total of eight independent factors were included for this study. In total, there were 116 different cases contained within the dataset. While the category of disease comprised 37 cases, the category of no disease included 79 cases, which accounted for 68.1% of the total, and the category of disease contained 37 cases, which accounted for 31.9% of the total. The architectural model was built using a number of characteristics, such as the training component, which had the following values: the gross entropy error was 23.7884, and the proportion of erroneous predictions was 10.1%. One or more consecutive steps that showed no improvement in errora was used as the halting rule for the experiment. Over the entire testing session, the total gross entropy error came to 14,327, and 13.5% of the predictions that were made turned out to be incorrect. In descending order of importance, the factors that were found to have the greatest influence on the risk of developing breast cancer were: resistin (21.5%), insulin (18.2%), HOMA (17.5%), BMI (16.2%), glucose (14.7%), leptin (4.6%), adiponectin (4.1%), and age (3.30%). Age was found to have the least amount of influence on the risk of developing breast cancer. In conclusion, artificial intelligence is a valuable tool that can be used to determine the factors that will have an impact on the future.
