COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS OF MAMMOGRAPHIC FEATURES IN THE STAGES OF BREAST CANCER

Abstract

This study will be examining mammographic imaging across four stages of breast cancer. In reviewing mammographic characteristics of the masses as either oval or round, in addition to the margins, shape, density, and / or the presence of microcalcifications, the focus aims to identify imaging features associated with each stage of the breast cancer. The research will also examine associations between imaging features and tumor progression. The results found clear mammographic patterns for each stage of cancer. The results of this study will enhance diagnosis processes and diagnostic support to the radiologists in identifying malignant breast tumor in early stage of the cancer.
