Breast cancer: A comparative review for breast cancer detection using machine learning techniques

Cell Biochem Funct. 2023 Dec;41(8):996-1007. doi: 10.1002/cbf.3868. Epub 2023 Oct 9.

Abstract

Breast cancer is the most common cancer among women globally and presents a significant challenge due to its rising incidence and fatality rates. Factors such as cultural, socioeconomic, and educational barriers contribute to inadequate awareness and access to healthcare services, often leading to delayed diagnoses and poor patient outcomes. Furthermore, fostering a collaborative approach among healthcare providers, policymakers, and community leaders is crucial in addressing this critical women's health issue, reducing mortality rates, alleviating, and the overall burden of breast cancer. The main goal of this review is to explore various techniques of machine learning algorithms to examine high accuracy and early detection of breast cancer for the safe health of women.

Keywords: artificial neural networks; breast cancer; breast cancer data set; feature extraction; machine learning; mammography; risk factor support vector machine.
