Abstract
The worldwide incidence of head and neck cancer exceeds half a million cases annually. The morbidity and mortality of head and neck cancers considering thyroid, nasopharyngeal, sinonasal and laryngeal were reported high. The degree of facial disfigurement is unrivalled. Information Gain and Chi Square, Decision and Naïve Bayes were deployed for the study. The dataset was divided into training and test data. The results showed that the performance of Naïve Bayes outperformed Decision Trees. With the application of machine learning algorithms, head and neck cancer can be classified.
