Cancer is a large group of diseases that can begin in almost any organ or tissue of the body when abnormal cells grow uncontrollably, beyond their normal limits to invade adjacent parts of the body and/or spread to other organs. There is a lot of information about breast cancer that can be accessed easily. Information about breast cancer can be processed with machine learning. Machine learning can discover new meaningful correlations, patterns and trends by sifting through large amounts of data stored in repositories, using pattern recognition technology and statistical and mathematical techniques. The purpose of this research is to determine the value of the accuracy of the SVM model on training data and testing data; and to determine the precision value of the SVM model on training data and testing data. Wisconsin Breast Cancer (WBC) data available in the UCI Machine Learning Repository. The data have been processed using the Python programming language with a support vector machine (SVM) modeling algorithm. The results of this research indicate that the value of accuracy in training data was equal to , the value of accuracy in testing data was equal to , and the value of precision in the SVM model algorithm was obtained as large as for training data and as large as for data testing.
