Intelligent Breast Cancer Prediction Empowered with Fusion and Deep Learning

Breast cancer is the most frequently detected tumor that eventually could result in a significant increase in female mortality globally.According to clinical statistics,one woman out of eight is under the threat of breast cancer.Lifestyle and inheritance patterns may be a reason behind its spread among women.However,some preventive measures,such as tests and periodic clinical checks can mitigate its risk thereby,improving its survival chances substantially.Early diagnosis and initial stage treatment can help increase the survival rate.For that purpose,pathologists can gather support from nondestructive and efficient computer-aided diagnosis(CAD)systems.This study explores the breast cancer CAD method relying on multimodal medical imaging and decision-based fusion.In multimodal medical imaging fusion,a deep learning approach is applied,obtaining 97.5%accuracy with a 2.5%miss rate for breast cancer prediction.A deep extreme learning machine technique applied on feature-based data provided a 97.41%accuracy.Finally,decisionbased fusion applied to both breast cancer prediction models to diagnose its stages,resulted in an overall accuracy of 97.97%.The proposed system model provides more accurate results compared with other state-of-the-art approaches,rapidly diagnosing breast cancer to decrease its mortality rate.
