Introduction: The early diagnosis of breast cancer as prevalent cancer among women, is a necessity in the research on cancers since it could simplify the clinical management of other patients. The importance of the classification of breast cancer patients into high- or low-risk groups has led research groups in the biomedical and informatics departments to evaluate and use computer techniques s...

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 ...

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...

the value of clinical use of tumor markers cea and ca15-3 for early detection of recurrent breast cancer still is a controversial. this study was investigated relationship between tumor markers cea and ca15-3 and recurrence breast cancer. data regarding 147 women who had breast cancer were entered into the study. patients were reviewed for 120 months after treatment. maximum time for relapse wa...

although breast tuberculosis still remains rare, but in endemic countries should be in differential diagnosis of breast cancer and abscess. imaging modalities cannot distinguish between cancer and tuberculosis. acid fast bacilli stain; culture and pcr are helpful diagnostic methods but unfortunately are not very sensitive. negative results do not rule out this diagnosis, so it seems definite di...
