Integrating hybrid transfer learning with attention-enhanced deep learning models to improve breast cancer diagnosis.

Cancer, with its high fatality rate, instills fear in countless individuals worldwide. However, effective diagnosis and treatment can often lead to a successful cure. Computer-assisted diagnostics, especially in the context of deep learning, have become prominent methods for primary screening of various diseases, including cancer. Deep learning, an artificial intelligence technique that enables computers to reason like humans, has recently gained significant attention. This study focuses on training a deep neural network to predict breast cancer. With the advancements in medical imaging technologies such as X-ray, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and computed tomography (CT) scans, deep learning has become essential in analyzing and managing extensive image datasets. The objective of this research is to propose a deep-learning model for the identification and categorization of breast tumors. The system's performance was evaluated using the breast cancer identification (BreakHis) classification datasets from the Kaggle repository and the Wisconsin Breast Cancer Dataset (WBC) from the UCI repository. The study's findings demonstrated an impressive accuracy rate of 100%, surpassing other state-of-the-art approaches. The suggested model was thoroughly evaluated using F1-score, recall, precision, and accuracy metrics on the WBC dataset. Training, validation, and testing were conducted using pre-processed datasets, leading to remarkable results of 99.8% recall rate, 99.06% F1-score, and 100% accuracy rate on the BreakHis dataset. Similarly, on the WBC dataset, the model achieved a 99% accuracy rate, a 98.7% recall rate, and a 99.03% F1-score. These outcomes highlight the potential of deep learning models in accurately diagnosing breast cancer. Based on our research, it is evident that the proposed system outperforms existing approaches in this field.
