Multimodal Data-Driven Intelligent Systems for Breast Cancer Prediction

Abstract

Cancer, a malignant disease, results from abnormalities in the body cells that lead to uncontrolled growth and division, surpassing healthy growth and stability. In the case of breast cancer, this uncontrolled growth and division occurs in breast cells. Early identification of breast cancer is key to lowering mortality rates. Several new developments in artificial intelligence predictive models show promise for assisting decision-making. The primary goal of the proposed study is to build an efficient Breast Cancer Intelligent System using a multimodal dataset. The aim is to to establish Computer-Aided Diagnosis for breast cancer by integrating various data.This study uses the TCGA "The Cancer Genome Atlas Breast Invasive Carcinoma Collection" (TCGA-BRCA) dataset, which is part of an ongoing effort to create a community integrating cancer phenotypic and genotypic data. The TCGA- BRCA dataset includes: Clinical Data, RNASeq Gene Data, Mutation Data, and Methylation Data. Both clinical and genomic data are used in this study for breast cancer diagnosis. Integrating multiple data modalities enhances the robustness and precision of diagnostic and prognostic models in comparison with conventional techniques. The approach offers several advantages over unimodal models due to its ability to integrate diverse data sources. Additionally, these models can be employed to forecast the likelihood of a patient developing breast cancer in the near future, providing a valuable tool for early intervention and treatment planning.
