Abstract

Breast Cancer is one of the leading causes of death worldwide. Early detection is very important in increasing survival rates. Intensive research is therefore done to improve early detection of such cancers through the use of available technology. This includes various image processing techniques and general machine learning. However, the reported accuracy for many of these studies was often not at the desirable level. Deep Learning based techniques are a promising approach for the early detection of Breast Cancer. We have therefore done a comparative analysis of seven Deep Learning techniques applied to the Wisconsin Breast Cancer (Diagnostic) Dataset. Long Short Term Memory (LSTM) and Gated Recurrent Unit (GRU) were proven to be the most effective algorithms as these have demonstrated good results for the majority of performance indicators used in this study, including an accuracy of over 99 percent.
