BACKGROUND: Breast cancer, a heterogeneous malignancy, comprises multiple subtypes and poses a substantial threat to women's health globally. Neoadjuvant therapy (NAT), administered prior to surgery, is integral to breast cancer treatment strategies....
Accurate segmentation of nodules in both 2D breast ultrasound (BUS) and 3D automated breast ultrasound (ABUS) is crucial for clinical diagnosis and treatment planning. Therefore, developing an automated system for nodule segmentation can enhance user...

BACKGROUND: To perform a systematic review and meta-analysis that assesses the diagnostic performance of deep learning algorithms applied to breast MRI for predicting axillary lymph nodes metastases in patients of breast cancer.
PURPOSE: This study aims to investigate the impact of tumor quadrant location on the 5-year early-stage breast cancer survivability prediction using explainable machine learning (ML) models. By integrating these predictive models with Shapley Additiv...
In this study, we propose a novel approach for breast cancer classification that integrates the Seagull Optimization Algorithm (SGA) for feature selection with the Random Forest (RF) classifier for effective data classification. The novelty of our ap...
The most prevalent malignancy among women is breast cancer; hence, treatment approaches are needed in consideration of tumor characteristics and disease stage but also patient preference. Two surgical options, Mastectomy and Breast Conserving Surgery...
Intratumor heterogeneity (ITH) is involved in tumor evolution and drug resistance. Drug sensitivity shows discrepancy in different breast cancer (BRCA) patients due to ITH. The genes mediating ITH in BRCA and their role in predicting prognosis and dr...
BACKGROUND: Catheter-related thrombosis (CRT) is a serious complication in cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy, yet existing risk prediction models demonstrate limited accuracy. This study aimed to evaluate the clinical utility of machine learnin...
Breast cancer is a leading cause of mortality worldwide. Screening therefore remains the best defense against this disease, highlighting the need for accurate and efficient diagnostic methods. Previous authors addressed this issue by implementing dig...
BACKGROUND: Breast cancer (BC) is a major global health concern with rising incidence and mortality rates in many developing countries. Effective BC risk assessment models are crucial for prevention and early detection. While the Gail model, a tradit...
