The approach uses feature selection on a dataset including 64 women diagnosed with breast cancer and a counterfactual group of 52 healthy women to identify the strongest prescreening predictors. These predictors are evaluated through k-fold Monte Carlo cross-validation. Results show a fine-tuned deep learning architecture with the lowest false negative rate and reduced prediction uncertainty versus machine learning, supporting more accurate, earlier, and non-invasive prescreening.","University of Groningen  \nDeep learning algorithms for the early detection of breast cancer  \nGonzales Martinez, Rolando; van Dongen, Daan Max  \nPublished in:  \nInformatics in Medicine Unlocked  \nDOI:  \n10.1016/j.imu.2023.101317  \nIMPORTANT NOTE: You are advised to consult the publisher's version (publisher's PDF) if you wish to cite from it.

This study suggests that deep learning can also be used to prescreen for cancer by analyzing heterogeneous data obtained from demographic and anthropometric information of patients, biological markers from routine blood samples, and relative risks from meta-analysis and international databases. In this document, feature selection is applied to a database of 64 women diagnosed with breast cancer and a counterfactual group of 52 healthy women, to identify the best predictors of cancer prescreening. The best predictors are used in k-fold Monte Carlo cross-validation experiments that compare deep learning against machine learning. The results indicate that a deep learning architecture that is fine-tuned using feature selection has the lowest false negative rate (i.e., the lowest Type II errors) and can effec","cbCaivsbEquYvIAk","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaivsbEquYvIAk","pdf",3743314,1,9,"English","en",105,"# Abstract\n# Introduction\n## Breast cancer burden and screening context\n# Methods\n## Data sources and feature selection\n## Model comparison and validation\n# Results and Findings\n## False negative rate and Type II errors\n## Prediction uncertainty and performance metrics\n# Discussion\n## Clinical implications and benefits of prescreening\n# Conclusion","[{\"question\":\"How does the study use non-imaging information for breast cancer prescreening?\",\"answer\":\"It applies feature selection to demographic and anthropometric data, routine blood biomarkers, and relative risks from meta-analyses and databases to identify the best predictors for prescreening.\"},{\"question\":\"What comparison method is used to evaluate deep learning versus traditional machine learning?\",\"answer\":\"The best predictors are evaluated using k-fold Monte Carlo cross-validation, comparing deep learning architectures against machine learning approaches.\"},{\"question\":\"What performance advantage does deep learning show in this work?\",\"answer\":\"A fine-tuned deep learning architecture achieves the lowest false negative rate (lowest Type II errors) and shows reduced prediction uncertainty, indicated by the lowest standard deviation of performance metrics.\"}]","Deep learning algorithms for the early detection of breast cancer -
