Cancer is one of the deadliest diseases in the present days. Its survivability is mostly corelated to early detection and treatment, which means that it is of utmost importance to successfully diagnose the patients. Unfortunately, even with years of experience human errors can happen which leads to the death of many individuals being misdiagnosed. Throughout the years there have been several applications created which could possibly aid doctors in the diagnosis. Neural Networks have always been a powerful tool which can be used in different applications that require an accurate model and the complexity of these models exceeds a human's computational capabilities. In image processing for example, a convolutional neural network can analyze each particular pixel and determine through the convolution function the common properties of different pictures. The objective of this study is to analyze different types of cancer diagnosing methods that have been developed and tested using image processing methods. The analyzed factors are training parameters, image processing technique and the obtained performances. This survey/review can be of significant value to researchers and professionals in medicine and computer science, highlighting areas where there are opportunities to make significant new contributions.
