Implementing automated diagnostic systems for breast cancer detection
This paper intends to an integrated view of implementing automated diagnostic systems for breast cancer detection. The major objective of the paper is to be a guide for the readers, who want to develop an automated decision support system for detection of breast cancer. Because of the importance of making the right decision, better classification procedures for breast cancer have been searched. The classification accuracies of different classifiers, namely multilayer perceptron neural network (MLPNN), combined neural network (CNN), probabilistic neural network (PNN), recurrent neural network (RNN) and support vector machine (SVM), which were trained on the attributes of each record in the Wisconsin breast cancer database, were compared. The purpose was to determine an optimum classification scheme with high diagnostic accuracy for this problem. This research demonstrated that the SVM achieved diagnostic accuracies which were higher than that of the other automated diagnostic systems.
