83. Quantum lattices for early cancer detection through machine learning

Cancer is a broad term for diseases characterized by uncontrollable and abnormal cell growth. It is the second-leading cause of death worldwide, with 9 million deaths each year; early cancer detection remains crucial for improving survival outcomes, especially in developing countries. In this research, a novel three-step framework based on quantum machine learning was developed using transcriptome data to identify key cancer biomarkers and combine them to create mathematical expressions that can predict the presence of cancer with high accuracy using the expression levels of five or fewer genes.
