Breast cancer is one of the dangerous cancers among world’s women above 35 y. The breast is made up of lobules that secrete milk and thin milk ducts to carry milk from lobules to the nipple. Breast cancer mostly occurs either in lobules or in milk ducts. The most common type of breast cancer is ductal carcinoma where it starts from ducts and spreads across the lobules and surrounding tissues. According to the medical survey, each year there are about 125.0 per 100,000 new cases of breast cancer are diagnosed and 21.5 per 100,000 women due to this disease in the United States. Also, 246,660 new cases of women with cancer are estimated for the year 2016. Early diagnosis of breast cancer is a key factor for long-term survival of cancer patients. Classification plays an important role in breast cancer detection and used by researchers to analyse and classify the medical data. In this research work, priority-based decision tree classifier algorithm has been implemented for Wisconsin Breast cancer dataset. This paper analyzes the different decision tree classifier algorithms for Wisconsin original, diagnostic and prognostic dataset using WEKA software. The performance of the classifiers are evaluated against the parameters like accuracy, Kappa statistic, Entropy, RMSE, TP Rate, FP Rate, Precision, Recall, F-Measure, ROC, Specificity, Sensitivity.

Breast cancer is a major threat humans are facing irrespective of geographical limits. The awareness about breast cancer has increased during the last decade and many preventive measures were in practice to detect the breast cancer before the symptoms were felt. Mammography is a screening methodology currently in practice. In this paper the mammogram image is analyzed using automated system. The automated system is designed to be capable of distinguishing the mammogram image into a normal or malignant. This process involves image enhancement and image segmentation at preprocessing level. Histogram equalization technique is used to transform low contrast region of the mammogram into region with higher contrast and Fuzzy C Means (FCM) algorithm is used to segment the mammogram image into regions suitable for further analysis. After enhancement and segmentation at preprocessing level the classification is done using three classification algorithms like decision tree classifier, Neural Network classifier and Support Vector Machine (SVM). The performance of the classification algorithms is evaluated using the following criteria like speed, flexibility, robustness, scalability, interpretability, Time complexity and also based on accuracy, sensitivity and specificity. The results obtained in classification are compared with other classification algorithms. It is found that the neural network classifier approach produces better results compared to other classifiers.The average accuracy in diagnosis by Neural Network approach classifier is around 91%.  Also it is found that the decision tree approach is much flexible and easy to use compared to other approaches.

There is a consistent rise in chronic diseases worldwide. These diseases decrease immunity and the quality of daily life. The treatment of these disorders is a challenging task for medical professionals. Dimensionality reduction techniques make it possible to handle big data samples, providing decision support in relation to chronic diseases. These datasets contain a series of symptoms that are used in disease prediction. The presence of redundant and irrelevant symptoms in the datasets should be identified and removed using feature selection techniques to improve classification accuracy. Therefore, the main contribution of this paper is a comparative analysis of the impact of wrapper and filter selection methods on classification performance. The filter methods that have been considered include the Correlation Feature Selection (CFS) method, the Information Gain (IG) method and the Chi-Square (CS) method. The wrapper methods that have been considered include the Best First Search (BFS) method, the Linear Forward Selection (LFS) method and the Greedy Step Wise Search (GSS) method. A Decision Tree algorithm has been used as a classifier for this analysis and is implemented through the WEKA tool. An attribute significance analysis has been performed on the diabetes, breast cancer and heart disease datasets used in the study. It was observed that the CFS method outperformed other filter methods concerning the accuracy rate and execution time. The accuracy rate using the CFS method on the datasets for heart disease, diabetes, breast cancer was 93.8%, 89.5% and 96.8% respectively. Moreover, latency delays of 1.08 s, 1.02 s and 1.01 s were noted using the same method for the respective datasets. Among wrapper methods, BFS’ performance was impressive in comparison to other methods. Maximum accuracy of 94.7%, 95.8% and 96.8% were achieved on the datasets for heart disease, diabetes and breast cancer respectively. Latency delays of 1.42 s, 1.44 s and 132 s were recorded using the same method for the respective datasets. On the basis of the obtained result, a new hybrid Attribute Evaluator method has been proposed which effectively integrates enhanced K-Means clustering with the CFS filter method and the BFS wrapper method. Furthermore, the hybrid method was evaluated with an improved decision tree classifier. The improved decision tree classifier combined clustering with classification. It was validated on 14 different chronic disease datasets and its performance was recorded. A very optimal and consistent classification performance was observed. The mean values for accuracy, specificity, sensitivity and f-score metrics were 96.7%, 96.5%, 95.6% and 96.2% respectively.

Right now, breast cancer is considered as a most important health problem among women over the world. The detection of breast cancer in the beginning stage can reduce the mortality rate to a considerable extent. Mammogram is an effective and regularly used technique for the detection and screening of breast cancer. The advanced deep learning (DL) techniques are utilized by radiologists for accurate finding and classification of medical images. This paper develops a new deep segmentation with residual network (DS-RN) based breast cancer diagnosis model using mammogram images. The presented DS-RN model involves preprocessing, Faster Region based Convolution Neural Network (R-CNN) (Faster R-CNN) with Inception v2 model based segmentation, feature extraction and classification. To classify the mammogram images, decision tree (DT) classifier model is used. A detailed simulation process is performed to ensure the betterment of the presented model on the Mini-MIAS dataset. The obtained experimental values stated that the DS-RN model has reached to a maximum classification performance with the maximum sensitivity, specificity, accuracy and F-Measure of 98.15%, 100%, 98.86% and 99.07% respectively.  


Detection of any abnormalities in the human is a big challenge faced by many of the field experts. One such challenge is to detect the Breast Cancer. The prime mottobehind in making this paper is to detect the breast cancer with the help of breast images in an advanced and appropriate way. In this study, an attempt is made in such a way by applying the combination of various existing technics in the extracted breast images for getting better result in detecting the Breast Cancer. Consequently,feature extracting images are appliedusing Light gradient boosting ensemble decision tree classifier for identifying benign and malign features of an image. As a result, the normal and abnormal breast cancer image is detected by combining above applications. Besides, classification accuracy and minimize classification time metrics are also achieved more appropriately than the existing detectingtechnics.
