Performance analysis of a neuromodel for breast histopathology decision support system

Abstrak

Breast cancer detection and diagnosis are crucial in reducing mortality rates among women globally. This research article explores an artificial intelligence technique for early breast cancer detection, aiding doctors in making informed decisions for improved patient management. The study employs histopathological analysis of breast tissue microscopically to detect abnormalities, with the aim of categorizing normal tissue, benign lesions, in situ carcinoma, and invasive carcinoma. The proposed technique utilizes an artificial neural network trained using the resilient backpropagation algorithm (RP_ANN). The study further compares the observed performance with those of three other algorithms, including gradient descent algorithm (GDA_ANN), Levenberg-Marquardt algorithm (LM_ANN), and layer sensitivity-based (LSB_ANN) algorithm based on various evaluation metrics. RP_ANN and LSB_ANN demonstrated superior performance, with high validation and training variance accounted for (VAF) and low root mean squared error (RMSE). The results underscore the potential of deep learning-based algorithms for improving breast cancer detection, promising better patient outcomes and enhanced diagnostic accuracy.
