234 Abstract— Breast cancer is the most common disease and major cause of death among women. Early detection of this disease can greatly enhance the chances of long-term survival of breast cancer victims. Artificial Neural Networks (ANN) have been widely used for cancer prediction and prognosis. This paper studies various techniques used for the diagnosis of breast cancer using ANN. Different m...

Breast cancer is more common problem among women in the last decade. The problem of classifying breast tumor has been an important issue for many years. Computer Aided Diagnosis (CAD) system assists in the detection and characterization of breast cancer. This paper investigates a number of data mining techniques in the detection of breast cancer. In machine learning, classifier ensembles have p...

Introduction: Lymphoscintigraphy is imaging of the lymphatic system and has been integrated into the sentinel node mapping procedures. Lymphoscintigraphy usually encompasses early or delayed static images. However, immediate dynamic imaging of the lymphatic basins and tumors has also been used as an adjunct lymphoscintigraphy imaging. The aim of this study was ...

Introduction. Breast cancer is a malignant tumor that grows in breast tissue can come from components such as fat tissue, blood vessels. Early detection one of the prevention efforts help reduce incidence cancer. There are three ways to prevent including primary prevention, secondary and tertiary preventionMethod. This study uses descriptive type research with cross-sectional approach. The popu...

Many factors including genetic, environmental, and acquired are involved in breast cancer development across various societies. Among all of these factors in families with a history of breast cancer throughout several generations, genetics, like predisposing genes to develop this disease, should be considered more. Early detection of mutation carriers in these genes, in turn, can play an import...

Breast cancer continues to be a significant public health problem among women around the world. It has become the number one cause of cancer deaths amongst Malaysian women. The key to improve the breast cancer prognosis is by early detection. The important sign for the breast cancer detection is the presence of lesion such as microcalcification clusters (MCCs). In this review paper, the mammogr...

Advances in breast cancer control will be greatly aided by early detection so as to diagnose and treat breast cancer in its preinvasive state prior to metastasis. For breast cancer, the second leading cause of cancer-related death among women in the United States, early detection does allow for increased treatment options, including surgical resection, with a corresponding better patient respon...

Breast Cancer is the second most frequently diagnosed cancer, leading to cancer death worldwide. Early detection of breast cancer saves lives. Mammograms play an important tool in early detection of breast cancer. Cancer that originates from the breast tissue is called as Breast Cancer. Cancer originating from the inner lining of milk ducts is called as Ductal Carcinomas (70%). Cancer originati...
