Breast Cancer Diagnosis With Mammography

Breast cancer, which is the second-most common and leading cause of cancer death among women, has witnessed growing interest in the two last decades. Fortunately, its early detection is the most effective way to detect and diagnose breast cancer. Although mammography is the gold standard for screening, its difficult interpretation leads to an increase in missed cancers and misinterpreted non-cancerous lesion rates. Therefore, computer-aided diagnosis (CAD) systems can be a great helpful tool for assisting radiologists in mammogram interpretation. Nonetheless, these systems are limited by their black-box outputs, which decreases the radiologists' confidence. To circumvent this limit, content-based mammogram retrieval (CBMR) is used as an alternative to traditional CAD systems. Herein, authors systematically review the state-of-the-art on mammography-based breast cancer CAD methods, while focusing on recent advances in CBMR methods. In order to have a complete review, mammography imaging principles and its correlation with breast anatomy are also discussed.
An Ensemble Feature Subset Selection for Women Breast Cancer Classification

Breast cancer leads to fatal diseases both in India and America and takes the lives of thousands of women in the world every year. The patients can be easily treated if the signs and symptoms are identified at the early stages. But the symptoms identified at the final stage spreads in the human body, and most of the time, the cancer is identified at the final stage. Breast cancer detected at the early stage is treated easily rather than at the advanced stage. Computer-aided diagnosis came into existence from 2000 with high expectations to improve true positive diagnosis and reduce false positive marks. Artificial intelligence revolved in computing drives the attention of deep learning for an automated breast cancer detection and diagnosis in digital mammography. The chapter focuses on automatic feature selection algorithm for diagnosis of women breast cancer from digital mammographic images achieved through multi-layer perceptron techniques.

The prognosis of such types of disease becomes a very challenging task for radiologists due the huge number of cases together with careful and thorough examination it demands. The constraints of present CAD open up a need for new and accurate detection procedures. Deep learning approaches have gained a tremendous recognition in the areas of object detection, segmentation, image recognition, and computer vision. Precise and premature detection and classification of lesions is very critical for increasing the survival rates of patients. Recent CNN models are designed to enhance radiologists' understandings to identify even the least possible lesions at the very early stage.
Multi-Agent System Based on Data Mining Algorithms to Detect Breast Cancer

Recently, data mining and intelligent agents have emerged as two domains with tremendous potential for research. The capacity of agents to learn from their experience complements the data mining process. This chapter aims to study a multi-agent system that evaluates the performance of three well-known data mining algorithms—artificial neural network (ANN), support vector machines (SVM), and logistic regression or logit model (LR)—based on breast cancer data (WBCD). Then the system aggregates the classifications of these algorithms with a controller agent to increase the accuracy of the classification using a majority vote. Extensive studies are performed to evaluate the performance of these algorithms using various differential performance metrics such as classification rate, sensitivity, and specificity using different software modules. In the end, the authors see that this system gives more autonomy and initiative in the medical diagnosis and the agent can dialogue to share their knowledge.

Breast Cancer Detection Using Hybrid Computational Intelligence Techniques

Diagnosis of cancer is of prime concern in recent years. Medical imaging is used to analyze these diseases. But, these images contain uncertainties due to various factors and thus intelligent techniques are essential to process these uncertainties. This chapter highlights two hybridizations pertaining to breast cancer. In one hybridization technique, it hybridizes intuitionistic fuzzy set and rough set in combination with statistical feature extraction methods. In the second case, intuitionistic fuzzy histogram hyperbolization is hybridized with possibilistic fuzzy c-mean clustering algorithm. Both hybridizations are studied to extract the region of interest and then to enhance the edges surrounding it. Experimental analysis is carried out for both models and an exhaustive study on these models is presented in this chapter.

Breast cancer is the most common cancer among women in the world today. Mammography screening gives vital information about normal and abnormal regions. The task is to detect the lesion in mammograms using computer-aided diagnosis techniques. The automated detection of cancer decreases the mortality rate and manual error. In this work, the statistical (mean, variance, skewness, kurtosis, energy and entropy) and tamura features (coarseness, contrast and directionality) were extracted from the Cranial-Caudal (CC) view of mammogram images collected from the M.S. Ramaiah Memorial Hospital, Bangalore. The support vector machine was used for classification. Different support vector machine kernels were used and results were tabulated. The highest accuracy was obtained for linear and quadratic kernels with 95.7% with sensitivity of 100% and specificity of 91%.
Data Mining and Machine Learning Approaches in Breast Cancer Biomedical Research

Breast cancer is the most common invasive cancer in females worldwide. Breast cancer diagnosis and breast cancer prognosis are the two important challenges for the researchers in the medical field and also for the practitioners. If the cells in the breast start to grow without any control, it leads to cancer. Normally, the growth of the lump can be seen using x-ray. The benign and malignant breast lumps are distinguished during breast cancer diagnosis. The prognosis process predicts the period at which the breast cancer is likely to reappear in patients who have had their cancers removed. Data mining techniques and machine learning algorithms are mostly used in the whole process of breast cancer diagnosis and treatment. They utilize the large volume of breast cancer data for extracting knowledge. The application of data mining and machine learning methods in biomedical research is presently vital and crucial in efforts to transform intelligently all available data into valuable knowledge.

Breast cancer is the second most prevalent type of cancer among women. Breast ultrasound (BUS) imaging is one of the most frequently used diagnostic tools to detect and classify abnormalities in the breast. To improve the diagnostic accuracy, computer-aided diagnosis (CAD) system is helpful for breast cancer detection and classification. Normally, a CAD system consists of four stages: pre-processing, segmentation, feature extraction, and classification. In this chapter, the pre-processing step includes speckle noise removal using speckle reducing anisotropic diffusion (SRAD) filter. The goal of segmentation is to locate the region of interest (ROI) and active contour-based segmentation and fuzzy C means segmentation (FCM) are used in this work. The texture features are extracted and fed to a classifier to categorize the images as normal, benign, and malignant. In this work, three classifiers, namely k-nearest neighbors (KNN) algorithm, decision tree algorithm, and random forest classifier, are used and the performance is compared based on the accuracy of classification.

A Novel Fuzzy Frequent Itemsets Mining Approach for the Detection of Breast Cancer

Breast cancer, a type of malignant tumor, affects women more than men. About one-third of women with breast cancer die of this disease. Hence, it is imperative to find a tool for the proper identification and early treatment of breast cancer. Unlike the conventional data mining algorithms, fuzzy logic-based approaches help in the mining of association rules from quantitative transactions. In this study, a novel fuzzy methodology, IFFP (improved fuzzy frequent pattern mining), based on a fuzzy association rule mining for biological knowledge extraction, is introduced to analyze the dataset in order to find the core factors that cause breast cancer. It is determined that the factor, mitoses, has low range of values on both malignant and benign, and hence it does not contribute to the detection of breast cancer. On the other hand, the high range of bare nuclei shows more chances for the presence of breast cancer. Experimental evaluations on real datasets show that the proposed method outperforms recently proposed state-of-the-art algorithms in terms of runtime and memory usage.

Similarity Measure of Breast Cancer Datasets Using Fuzzy Rule-Based Classification by Attribute

To compare with two datasets based on attributes by using classification algorithms, for the attributes, the authors need to select them by rules and the system is known as rule-based reasoning system which classifies a given test instance into a particular outcome from the learned rules. The test instance carries multiple attributes, which are usually the values of diagnostic tests. In this article, the authors propose a classifier ensemble-based method for comparison of two breast cancer datasets. The ensemble data mining learning methods are applied to rule generation, and a multi-criterion evaluation approach is used for selecting reliable rules over the results of the ensemble methods. The efficacy of the proposed methodology is illustrated via an example of two breast cancer datasets.
