abstract = {This study evaluates feature selection techniques combined with machine learning classifiers to improve breast cancer risk prediction. Using data from the MCC-Spain study (919 cases, 946 controls) with environmental and genetic features, the goal is to identify key risk factors and assess the stability of feature selection methods. SVM-RFE achieved the best performance, with a Logistic Regression model using its top-47 ranked features obtaining an AUC of 0.616 (5.8% improvement). SVM-RFE and Random Forest were the most stable selection methods, but SVM-RFE outperformed Random Forest in predictive accuracy.},
