Chapter 03: System Analysis

3.1. Problem Statement: Breast Cancer

Breast cancer is cancer that develops from breast tissue. Signs of

breast cancer may include a lump in the breast, a change in breast
shape, dimpling of the skin, fluid coming from the nipple, a newly
inverted nipple, or a red or scaly patch of skin. In those with distant
spread of the disease, there may be bone pain, swollen lymph nodes,
shortness of breath, or yellow skin. Breast cancer most commonly
develops in cells from the lining of milk ducts and the lobules that
supply these ducts with milk. The diagnosis of breast cancer is
confirmed by taking a biopsy of the concerning tissue.

3.2. Overview of the Project

Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning have been increasingly

integrated into breast cancer detection systems, enhancing accuracy,
efficiency, and scalability.

AI algorithms are trained on vast datasets of mammograms,

ultrasounds, and MRIs to recognize patterns indicative of breast
cancer. These algorithms can identify subtle abnormalities that may
be missed by human observers, leading to earlier detection. For
example, convolutional neural networks (CNNs) can analyze
mammograms and highlight regions of interest for further evaluation.

ML models can analyze a patient's demographic data, medical

history, genetic information, and imaging results to assess their risk
of developing breast cancer. By integrating multiple data sources,

Gujarat Technological University 20 | P a g e

 432946

these models can provide personalized risk scores, guiding

recommendations for screening frequency and preventive measures.
AI-powered clinical decision support systems (CDSS) assist
radiologists and oncologists in interpreting imaging studies and
biopsy results. These systems can provide second opinions, highlight
areas of concern, and recommend appropriate follow-up actions
based on established guidelines and the latest medical literature.

ML algorithms can analyze biopsy samples to differentiate between

benign and malignant tissue, reducing the time and subjectivity
associated with manual histopathological evaluation. This
automated analysis can improve diagnostic accuracy and streamline
the pathology workflow.

AI models can analyze patient data, including tumor characteristics,

genetic profiles, and treatment outcomes, to assist oncologists in
developing personalized treatment plans. These models can predict
treatment response, recurrence risk, and optimal therapeutic
strategies, helping to improve patient outcomes and minimize
adverse effects.

ML algorithms can continuously monitor patient data, such as

imaging studies, laboratory results, and clinical notes, to detect signs
of disease progression or recurrence. By analyzing longitudinal data
trends, these models can provide early warnings and prognostic
insights, enabling timely intervention and personalized patient
management.

AI and ML can analyze healthcare data to identify patterns of

diagnostic errors, treatment variability, and clinical outcomes. By
pinpointing areas for improvement, these technologies support
quality assurance initiatives and facilitate evidence-based practice
guidelines.

Gujarat Technological University 21 | P a g e

 432946

AI and ML techniques are used to analyze large-scale genomics,

proteomics, and clinical trial data to identify biomarkers, therapeutic
targets, and novel drug candidates for breast cancer treatment. These
technologies accelerate the drug discovery process and facilitate
precision medicine approaches.

By harnessing the power of AI and ML, breast cancer detection

systems can leverage large datasets, complex patterns, and
interdisciplinary knowledge to enhance early detection, diagnosis,
treatment, and patient care. These technologies hold immense
promise in improving breast cancer outcomes and advancing the field
of oncology.

3.3. Study of Current Systems

A study of current breast cancer detection systems reveals a diverse

landscape of approaches and technologies aimed at improving early
detection, diagnosis, and treatment of breast cancer. These systems
incorporate various imaging modalities, computational techniques,
and clinical methodologies to enhance accuracy, efficiency, and
patient outcomes. Here's an overview of some key aspects:

3.3.1. Imaging Modalities

Mammography remains the gold standard for breast cancer

screening, offering high sensitivity and specificity. Digital
mammography, tomosynthesis, and contrast-enhanced
mammography are advancements in this field. Additionally,
modalities like ultrasound, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and
molecular breast imaging (MBI) provide complementary information,
especially for dense breast tissue and high-risk populations.

3.3.2. Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning

AI and machine learning algorithms are increasingly being integrated

into breast cancer detection systems to improve accuracy and
efficiency. These algorithms analyze imaging data, clinical records,
and genetic information to assist radiologists in interpreting images,
identifying suspicious lesions, and predicting tumor behavior.

3.3.3. Computer-Aided Detection (CAD) Systems

CAD systems serve as decision support tools by automatically

highlighting regions of interest on mammograms or other imaging
studies. These systems help radiologists focus their attention on
potentially concerning areas, reducing interpretation time and
improving diagnostic accuracy.

 432946

3.3.4. Genomic Profiling and Molecular Biomarkers

Genomic profiling and molecular biomarker analysis play a crucial

role in personalized medicine for breast cancer. Tests such as
Oncotype DX, Mammaprint, and Prosigna assess gene expression
patterns to predict tumor aggressiveness, recurrence risk, and
response to specific treatments, guiding personalized treatment
strategies.

Figure 3.4 – Breast Cancer Detection Using Genomic Profiling and Molecular Biomarkers

3.3.5. Multidisciplinary Approaches

Multidisciplinary teams comprising radiologists, oncologists,

pathologists, surgeons, and genetic counselors collaborate to ensure
comprehensive and individualized care for breast cancer patients.
This approach facilitates timely diagnosis, appropriate staging,
treatment planning, and supportive care, resulting in improved
patient outcomes.

Gujarat Technological University 25 | P a g e

 432946

3.3.6. Patient-Centered Care

Patient-centered care models prioritize the holistic well-being of

breast cancer patients, emphasizing shared decision-making,
psychosocial support, survivorship care, and quality of life
considerations. Patient navigators, survivorship programs, and
support groups play vital roles in empowering patients and
addressing their unique needs throughout the cancer care
continuum.

Ongoing research and advancements in breast cancer detection

systems aim to enhance early detection rates, optimize treatment
outcomes, and improve overall survival rates for individuals affected
by this prevalent and heterogeneous disease.

3.4. Problem and Weaknesses of Current System

The current breast cancer detection system faces several challenges

and limitations:

1. Accuracy:
While mammography is the primary method for breast cancer
detection, it is not always accurate, especially in dense breast
tissue or in younger women. False positives and false negatives
can occur, leading to unnecessary anxiety or missed diagnoses.
2. Invasive Procedures:
Following an abnormal mammogram result, patients often
undergo further invasive procedures such as biopsies to confirm
the presence of cancer. These procedures can be uncomfortable,
expensive, and carry risks.

Gujarat Technological University 26 | P a g e

 432946

3. Limited Sensitivity:
Mammography may not detect certain types of breast cancer, such
as lobular carcinoma, as effectively as other methods. Additionally,
it may miss small tumors or early-stage cancers.

4. Overdiagnosis:
Mammography may detect slow-growing cancers that would not
have caused harm during a person's lifetime, leading to
overdiagnosis and unnecessary treatment.

5. Cost and Accessibility:

Mammography screening can be costly, and access to screening
services may be limited in certain regions or for underserved
populations, leading to disparities in breast cancer detection and
outcomes.

6. Patient Compliance:
Some individuals may avoid regular mammography screenings
due to discomfort, fear, or lack of awareness, resulting in delayed

3.7. Selection of Approaches and Justification

In designing a new breast cancer detection system, the selection of

approaches is critical to ensuring its effectiveness, efficiency, and
patient-centeredness. Here's how various approaches can be
justified:

Integrating multiple imaging modalities, such as mammography,

ultrasound, and MRI, provides a comprehensive evaluation of breast
tissue. This approach enhances detection accuracy by capturing
different aspects of breast anatomy and pathology, thus improving
diagnostic performance.

Utilizing AI algorithms, including machine learning and deep

learning, enables automated analysis of imaging data with high
sensitivity and specificity. These algorithms can identify subtle
patterns indicative of breast cancer, reducing the risk of oversight
and enabling early detection of suspicious lesions. Continuous
learning from new data enhances algorithm performance over time,
ensuring ongoing optimization and adaptation to evolving clinical
needs.

Automating the detection of suspicious lesions within breast tissue

images reduces the burden on healthcare professionals and
minimizes the risk of human error. By providing real-time feedback
and guidance during image interpretation, automated lesion
detection enhances workflow efficiency and diagnostic accuracy,
leading to timely intervention and improved patient outcomes.

Incorporating quantitative analysis of imaging features, such as

lesion size, shape, texture, and enhancement kinetics, provides
objective metrics for characterizing breast lesions and assisting in
diagnostic decision-making. This approach enhances diagnostic
confidence and facilitates personalized risk assessment, enabling
Gujarat Technological University 31 | P a g e
 432946

tailored screening protocols and recommendations based on

individualized risk profiles.

Implementing three-dimensional (3D) imaging techniques, such as

breast tomosynthesis, improves lesion visualization and enhances
detection accuracy, particularly in dense breast tissue where
traditional 2D mammography may be less effective. This approach
provides volumetric information and reduces the risk of overlapping
tissue, leading to improved diagnostic performance and reduced
recall rates.
Integrating patient-specific factors, such as age, family history,
genetic predisposition, and breast density, into risk assessment
models enables tailored screening protocols and recommendations
based on individualized risk profiles. This approach optimizes
screening efficiency by targeting high-risk populations and reduces
unnecessary interventions in low-risk individuals, improving overall
patient outcomes.

4.1. System Design and Methodology

Figure 4.1 – Flowchart of Model

 432946

Figure 4.2 – Flowchart for Breast Cancer Detection System

A breast cancer detection system involves data acquisition,

preprocessing, feature extraction, machine learning classification,
evaluation, clinical decision making, feedback loop for improvement,
and reporting/documentation.
The process begins with the acquisition of breast imaging data from
various modalities such as mammography, ultrasound, MRI, or other
emerging technologies like optical coherence tomography (OCT). This
data may include images, patient demographics, and clinical history.

The acquired data undergoes preprocessing to enhance its quality

and prepare it for analysis. This may involve noise reduction, image
enhancement, normalization, and standardization to ensure
consistency across different imaging modalities.

Gujarat Technological University 34 | P a g e

 432946

Next, relevant features are extracted from the preprocessed data.

These features may include morphological characteristics, texture
patterns, and intensity distributions extracted from the breast
images. Feature extraction aims to capture discriminative
information that can distinguish between benign and malignant
lesions.

The extracted features are then input into machine learning

algorithms for classification. These algorithms, such as support
vector machines (SVM), random forests, or deep neural networks,
learn patterns from the features and classify the breast lesions as
either benign or malignant.

The performance of the classification model is evaluated using

metrics such as sensitivity, specificity, accuracy, and area under the
receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC-ROC). This evaluation
helps assess the model's effectiveness in distinguishing between
benign and malignant lesions.

Based on the classification results, clinical decisions are made

regarding patient management. If a lesion is classified as malignant,
further diagnostic tests or interventions may be recommended, such
as biopsy or surgical excision. If classified as benign, regular
surveillance or follow-up may be advised.

The system incorporates a feedback loop to continuously improve its

performance. Feedback from clinicians, new patient data, and
outcomes of diagnostic procedures are used to refine the
classification model and enhance its accuracy and reliability over
time.

Finally, the results of the classification are documented and reported

to healthcare providers and patients. This documentation may

Gujarat Technological University 35 | P a g e

 432946

include the classification outcome, confidence scores, recommended

follow-up actions, and other relevant information.
This systematic approach aims to assist healthcare providers in
accurate and timely detection of breast cancer, leading to improved
patient outcomes.

Chapter 05: Implementation

5.1. Method of Implementation: Random Forest

Random forests or random decision forests is an ensemble learning

method for classification, regression and other tasks that operates by
constructing a multitude of decision trees at training time. For
classification tasks, the output of the random forest is the class
selected by most trees. For regression tasks, the mean or average
prediction of the individual trees is returned. Random decision
forests correct for decision trees' habit of overfitting to their training
set. Random forests generally outperform decision trees, but their
accuracy is lower than gradient boosted trees. However, data
characteristics can affect their performance.

Figure 5.1 – Random Forest Flow 1

Gujarat Technological University 38 | P a g e

 432946

Random Forest Implementation

rfc = RandomForestClassifier(random_state = 10)

rfc.fit(X_train, y_train.ravel())

The training algorithm for random forests applies the general

technique of bootstrap aggregating, or bagging, to tree learners.

Given a training set X = x1, ..., xn with responses Y = y1, ..., yn,
bagging repeatedly (B times) selects a random sample with
replacement of the training set and fits trees to these samples:
For b = 1, ..., B:

1. Sample, with replacement, n training examples from X, Y; call

these Xb, Yb.

2. Train a classification or regression tree fb on Xb, Yb.

After training, predictions for unseen samples x' can be made by

averaging the predictions from all the individual regression trees on
x':

or by taking the majority vote in the case of classification trees.

This bootstrapping procedure leads to better model performance

because it decreases the variance of the model, without increasing
the bias. This means that while the predictions of a single tree are
highly sensitive to noise in its training set, the average of many trees
is not, as long as the trees are not correlated. Simply training many
trees on a single training set would give strongly correlated trees (or
even the same tree many times, if the training algorithm is
deterministic); bootstrap sampling is a way of de-correlating the trees
by showing them different training sets.

Gujarat Technological University 39 | P a g e

 432946

Additionally, an estimate of the uncertainty of the prediction can be

made as the standard deviation of the predictions from all the
individual regression trees on x':

The number of samples/trees, B, is a free parameter. Typically, a few

hundred to several thousand trees are used, depending on the size
and nature of the training set. An optimal number of trees B can be
found using cross-validation, or by observing the out-of-bag error: the
mean prediction error on each training sample xi, using only the trees
that did not have xi in their bootstrap sample. The training and test
error tend to level off after a number of trees have been fit.

The above procedure describes the original bagging algorithm for

trees. Random forests also include another type of bagging scheme:
they use a modified tree learning algorithm that selects, at each
candidate split in the learning process, a random subset of the
features. This process is sometimes called "feature bagging". The
reason for doing this is the correlation of the trees in an ordinary
bootstrap sample: if one or a few features are very strong predictors
for the response variable (target output), these features will be
selected in many of the B trees, causing them to become correlated.
An analysis of how bagging and random subspace projection
contribute to accuracy gains under different conditions is given by
Ho.

Typically, for a classification problem with p features, √p (rounded

down) features are used in each split. For regression problems the
inventors recommend p/3 (rounded down) with a minimum node size
of 5 as the default. In practice the best values for these parameters
will depend on the problem, and they should be treated as tuning
parameters.
