Logistic Regression Classification for Assessing the Risk of Kidney Tumor

The kidneys have the important function of filtering waste products and toxins from the blood in the human body. Any problems affecting the kidneys can potentially impact their efficiency and overall function. Kidney Tumor (KT) is a disease that specifically affects kidney cells and causes the abnormal growth of tissue in one or both kidneys. Assessing the risk of developing a kidney tumor and identifying the key factors that contribute to this risk are crucial for ensuring patient well-being. Additionally, this information assists doctors and specialists in making faster and more accurate diagnoses, determining appropriate treatment methods, and potentially influencing the course of the disease to minimize its severity and impact. Machine learning algorithms have recently been introduced to evaluate disease risks, and in this study, we specifically focus on examining the risk of kidney tumor development and investigating the influencing factors. We employed a logistic regression model to predict if a patient is at risk of developing a kidney tumor or not, and further categorized the samples into high-risk and low-risk groups. Our model was trained and tested using a unique dataset obtained from the (KAUH) hospital in Jordan, consisting of well-balanced metadata from 120 patients with kidney issues. Our work demonstrated accuracy results ranging from 90% to 98%. Ultimately, specialists can utilize our model as an additional tool to enhance the speed and accuracy of patient diagnoses
