GPU based digital histopathology and diagnostic support system for breast cancer detection: A comparison of cnn models and machine learning models

Abstract

One of the decisive reasons of cancer is uncontrolled augmentation of cancerous cells, malignant cells, or tumor cells in any living organism life at any stage. The scientific role of pathology is to diagnosis and prognosis of diseases to find changes at the level of cell structures with cell components including nucleolus and cytoplasm, tissues (i.e. grouped cell with complex structures) and organs which in turn give rise to the presenting signs and symptoms of the patient. It has been observed by clinical pathology system and histopathology methods that damaged or unrepaired cells do not die and show uncontrolled growth-a reason to mass development of cancerous cells. Frequently, cancerous cell travel through the blood and lymph systems, and cross the effected boundary organs to other body region where they repeats the process of uncontrolled growth cycle. This process of cancer cells leaving one region and growing in other part of body system is termed as metastatic spread or metastasis. Histopathological methodology can detect breast cancer. This diagnosis can be done with various Machine Learning Models and Deep Learning based Convolutional Neural Networks Models. The analysis shows convolutional neural networks models provide significant accurate results in comparison machine learning based models.
