Detection and Diagnosis of Breast Cancer Using Deep Learning

Breast Cancer (BC) is a cancerous growth that is a result of uncontrolled cell division in the mammary tissues, usually in the ducts and in the lobules. BC is the most dominant fast-growing cancer and one of the leading cause of cancer mortality in women. BC incidents are increasing swiftly every year around the world especially in developing countries due to grown life expectancy and assumption of western culture. The conventional process of detecting BC involves a clinical expert who observed the medical images of affected breast tissues and looks for structural changes, irregularities in cell forms, ordination of cells in the tissue and determining the stage of the cancer. As conventional interpretation is often time consuming, expensive and error prone; computer-aided detection (CAD) technique is used as an alternative to provide a more accurate, automatic, fast and reproducible procedure to detect BC. This research presents a fully automatic process of BC detection. Two well know filter such as Gaussian Blur (GB) and Detail Enhanced (DE) filter has been used here for the preprocessing purpose. Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) classifier has been used here for classification. The proposed model is performed on an openly accessible dataset named Breast Histopathology Image dataset and the outcome exhibits the sharpness of our proposed model. The obtained accuracy is 87.49%, 88.46% and 88.10% in Case-I, Case-II and Case-III, respectively.
