Assessment of Bayesian Network Classifiers as Tools for Discriminating Breast Cancer Pre-diagnosis Based on Three Diagnostic Methods

چکیده
In recent years, a technique known as thermography has been again seriously considered as a complementary tool for the pre-diagnosis of breast cancer. In this paper, we explore the predictive value of thermographic atributes, from a database containing 98 cases of patients with suspicion of having breast cancer, using Bayesian networks. Each patient has corresponding results for different diagnostic tests: mammography, thermography and biopsy. Our results suggest that these atributes are not enough for producing good results in the pre-diagnosis of breast cancer. On the other hand, these models show unexpected interactions among the thermographical attributes, especially those directly related to the class variable.

Objective(s): This study addresses feature selection for breast cancer diagnosis. The present process uses a wrapper approach using GA-based on feature selection and PS-classifier. The results of experiment show that the proposed model is comparable to the other models on Wisconsin breast cancer datasets. Materials and Methods: To evaluate effectiveness of proposed feature selection method, we ...

متن کاملA review of neural network detection methods for breast cancer: review article
Breast cancer is the most common cancer among women and the earlier it is diagnosed, the easier it is to treat. The most common way to diagnose breast cancer is mammography. Mammography is a simple chest x-ray and a tool for early detection of non-palpable breast cancers and tumors. However, due to some limitations of this method such as low sensitivity especially in dense breasts, other method...
