Breast Cancer Diagnosis Using Neuro-CBR Approach

Breast cancer has become the number one cause of cancer deaths amongst women. Once a breast cancer is detected, it can be classified a benign (not cancerous tissue) or malignant (cancerous tissue). However, it is very difficult to distinguish benign from one that is malignant due to its variability...
