Abstract:Breast cancer remains a leading cause of mortality among women globally, underscoring the urgent need for improved diagnostic and staging techniques to enhance patient outcomes. This study aims to automate the TNM staging of breast cancer using a hybrid approach that integrates Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs), edge detection methods, and Self-Organizing Maps (SOMs). Utilizing the Duke Breast Cancer MRI dataset, which provides detailed MRI scans crucial for accurate tumor characterization, the research add… Show more
