Abstract

Breast cancer affects thousands of women across the world, every year. Methods to predict risk of breast cancer, or to stratify women in different risk levels, could help to achieve an early diagnosis, and consequently a reduction of mortality. This paper aims to review articles that extracted texture features from mammograms and used those features along with machine learning algorithms to assess breast cancer risk. Besides that, deep learning methodologies that aimed for the same goal were also reviewed. In this work, first, a brief introduction to breast cancer statistics and screening programs is presented; after that, research done in the field of breast cancer risk assessment are analyzed, in terms of both methodologies used and results obtained. Finally, considerations about the analyzed papers are conducted. The results of this review allow to conclude that both machine and deep learning methodologies provide promising results in the field of risk analysis, either in a stratification in risk groups, or in a prediction of a risk score. Although promising, future endeavors in this field should consider the possibility of the implementation of the methodology in clinical practice.
