Breast Tumor Detection Using Robust and Efficient Machine Learning and Convolutional Neural Network Approaches.

Abstract

Breast cancer develops when cells in the breast expand and divide uncontrollably, resulting in a lump of tissue known as a tumor. This lump of tissue is called a tumor. After skin cancer, breast cancer is the second most common cancer among women. It is more common in women over the age of 50. Men may also acquire breast cancer, albeit it is uncommon. Each year, approximately 2,600 men in the United States are diagnosed with breast cancer, accounting for less than 1% of all cases. Transgender women are more likely than cisgender men to acquire breast cancer. Additionally, transgender males are less likely than cisgender women to acquire breast cancer. Breast cancer is more common in women over the age of 50, although it can affect anyone at any age. Early detection of a breast tumor may significantly lower the risk of developing breast cancer. A public dataset of breast tumor features was used instead to build models for identifying breast tumors through machine learning and deep learning. Prediction models were built using logistic regression (LR), decision tree (DT), random forest (RF), voting classifier (VC), support vector machine (SVM), and a proprietary convolutional neural network (CNN). These models were used to find critical prognostic indicators linked to breast cancer. The proposed network performs far better, with an average accuracy of 99%. This study has six types of models: LR, RF, SVM, VC, DT, and a custom CNN model. They all had 96% to 99% accuracy in this study. CNN, LR, RF, SVM, VC, and DT achieved 99%, 96%, 98%, 97%, 97%, and 96% F1 score, respectively. There were many machine learning algorithms used in this study that were very accurate, which means that these techniques could be used as alternative prognostic tools in breast tumor detection studies in Asia.
