The second-leading cause of death for women is breast cancer. Consequently, a precise early diagnosis is essential. With the rapid development of artificial intelligence, computer-aided diagnosis can efficiently assist radiologists in diagnosing breast problems. Mammography images, breast thermal images, and breast ultrasound images are the three ways to diagnose breast cancer. The paper will discuss some recent developments in machine learning and deep learning in three different breast cancer diagnosis methods. The three components of conventional machine learning methods are image preprocessing, segmentation, feature extraction, and image classification. Deep learning includes convolutional neural networks, transfer learning, and other methods. Additionally, the benefits and drawbacks of different methods are thoroughly contrasted. Finally, we also provide a summary of the challenges and potential futures for breast cancer diagnosis.

Breast cancer is commonest type of cancers among women. Early diagnosis plays a significant role in reducing the fatality rate. The main objective of this study is to propose an efficient approach to classify breast cancer tumor into either benign or malignant based on digitized image of a fine needle aspirate (FNA) of a breast mass represented by the Wisconsin Breast Cancer Dataset. Two wrapper-based feature selection methods, namely, sequential forward selection(SFS) and sequential backward selection (SBS) are used to identify the most discriminant features which can contribute to improve the classification performance. The feed forward neural network (FFNN) is used as a classification algorithm. The learning algorithm hyper-parameters are optimized using the grid search process. After selecting the optimal classification model, the data is divided into training set and testing set and the performance was evaluated. The feature space is reduced from nine feature to seven and six features using SFS and SBS respectively. The highest classification accuracy recorded was 99.03% with FFNN using the seven SFS selected features. While accuracy recorded with the six SBS selected features was 98.54%. The obtained results indicate that the proposed approach is effective in terms of feature space reduction leading to better accuracy and efficient classification model.

Automatic recognition of mammographic images in breast cancer is a complex issue due to the confusing appearance of some perfectly normal tissues which look like masses. The existing computer-aided systems suffer from non-satisfactory accuracy of cancer detection. This paper addresses this problem and proposes two alternative techniques of mammogram recognition: the application of a variety of methods for definition of numerical image descriptors in combination with an efficient SVM classifier (so-called classical approach) and application of deep learning in the form of convolutional neural networks, enhanced with additional transformations of input mammographic images. The key point of the first approach is defining the proper numerical image descriptors and selecting the set which is the most class discriminative. To achieve better performance of the classifier, many image descriptors were defined by means of applying different characterization of the images: Hilbert curve representation, Kolmogorov-Smirnov statistics, the maximum subregion principle, percolation theory, fractal texture descriptors as well as application of wavelet and wavelet packets. Thanks to them, better description of the basic image properties has been obtained. In the case of deep learning, the features are automatically extracted as part of convolutional neural network learning. To get better quality of results, additional representations of mammograms, in the form of nonnegative matrix factorization and the self-similarity principle, have been proposed. The methods applied were evaluated based on a large database composed of 10,168 regions of interest in mammographic images taken from the DDSM database. Experimental results prove the advantage of deep learning over traditional approach to image recognition. Our best average accuracy in recognizing abnormal cases (malignant plus benign versus healthy) was 85.83%, with sensitivity of 82.82%, specificity of 86.59% and AUC = 0.919. These results are among the best for this massive database.

Breast cancer has high incidence rate compared to the other cancers among women. This disease leads to die if it does not diagnosis early. Fortunately, by means of modern imaging procedure such as MRI, mammography, thermography, etc., and computer systems, it is possible to diagnose all kind of breast cancers in a short time. One type of BC images is histology images. They are obtained from the entire cut-off texture by use of digital cameras and contain invaluable information to diagnose malignant and benign lesions. Recently by requesting to use the digital workflow in surgical pathology, the diagnosis based on whole slide microscopy image analysis has attracted the attention of many researchers in medical image processing. Computer aided diagnosis (CAD) systems are developed to help pathologist make a better decision. There are some weaknesses in histology images based CAD systems in compared with radiology images based CAD systems. As these images are collected in different laboratory stages and from different samples, they have different distributions leading to mismatch of training (source) domain and test (target) domain. On the other hand, there is the great similarity between images of benign tumors with those of malignant. So if these images are analyzed undiscriminating, this leads to decrease classifier performance and recognition rate. In this research, a new representation learning-based unsupervised domain adaptation method is proposed to overcome these problems. This method attempts to distinguish benign extracted feature vectors from those of malignant ones by learning a domain invariant space as much as possible. This method achieved the average classification rate of 88.5% on BreaKHis dataset and increased 5.1% classification rate compared with basic methods and 1.25% with state-of-art methods.

The paper presents a new morphological method for extraction of microcalcifications in mammograms for breast cancer diagnosis. The proposed method is based on the use of the morphological detector together with morphological pyramid for detection of local irregularities of brightness in a wide range of size and shapes. The binary maps obtained from the pyramid indicate locations of the condidates for microcalcifications in the mammogram. Independently, the gray level reconstruction of the original mammogram is carried out in order to obtain the axact shape of h-domes, which depic regional maxima (hills) of brithness in the image. By thresholding the image of h-domes, one obtains a binary map of h-domes. Subsequently, a bimary reconstruction is carried out, in which the binary map of h-domes is used as a mask, and the map obtained from the pyramid after some modification is used as the marker. As a result of the reconstruction, the required map of microcalcifications is extracted. A number of tests of the proposed method on various mammograms are presented.
