Abstract: The incidence of cancer is increasing rapidly in recent times. Especially women are at high risk as they are more prone to various other types of cancer like breast cancer, cervical cancer etc. Breast cancer is the most common type of cancer that women are facing. Ductal carcinoma in situ is the most frequently caused variety of breast cancer. It is a common type of non invasive cancer occurring in general population. Among the various types of breast cancer it is difficult to diagnose the specific type. The purpose of this paper is to make the diagnosis of the type of breast cancer easier using data mining techniques Naïve Bayes & Decision tree.

Keywords: Breast cancer, Ductal carcinoma in situ, Naïve Bayes, Decision tree, Classification.

I.INTRODUCTION

Medical field is growing in fast pace with introduction of newer diseases, making it difficult for a doctor to make accurate diagnosis. Obtaining assistance of computer knowledge & techniques makes this process quick & accurate. The objective of this study is to make the diagnosis precise by utilizing the tools of data mining.

Overview of the Disease:

Cancer is a deadly disease which is leading to high mortality in population. Breast cancer is the most common type of cancer in women occurring worldwide. It is the second common cancer. One among 30 women is likely to develop breast cancer in their lifetime. Previously it was occurring above the age of 50 yrs but now even young women of 30 40 yrs also are at risk.

Breast is composed of lobes containing sections & ducts. Cancer can occur in ducts or in lobes. The one, that occurs in ducts in the most common among breast cancer. It may manifest as painless mass in the breast which keeps growing in size. Warm, red & swollen breast are the symptoms of breast cancer. Breast scan & mammography are frequently used when the chances are suspected. In case of doubt, a portion of the mass is sent for biopsy to confirm whether it is benign or malignant. According to WHO, 1.2 million women are diagnosed with breast cancer every year. Early detection of tumor is very essential for the proper treatment. Accurate diagnosis is essential in order to distinguish between benign & malignant tumors. There are various types of breast cancers; the most common is Ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS). Ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS) is a type of non invasive breast cancer. Carcinoma refers to malignant growth in any part of the body which is fatal. Ductal refers to the milk ducts inside the breast tissue. The cancerous growth occurring in the milk ducts is called

Ductal carcinoma. In situ means it remains at the site i.e., it is not invasive. Invasive means spreading in nature. Ductal carcinoma in situ is not spreading type of cancer.

  1. LITERATURE SURVEY

    In [7] adopted neural network for the diagnosis of breast cancer. It utilized negative co-relation algorithm to solve the problem automatically. The author used two approaches evolutionary approach & ensemble approach. Here evolutionary approach could be used to design compact neural network automatically. Ensemble approach was useful to solve large issues.

    In [6] improved the Naive Bayes with the links or associations of the features such as the Tree Augmented Naive Bayes (TAN). This study showed the accuracy of a General Bayesian Network (GBN) applied with the hill- climbing learning approach, but it did not have any impositions on the structure. Here data was represented in a better way. Which did not impose any restrictions on the structure and represented the dataset in a better way? The performance of GBN against Naïve Bayes & TAN, 7 nominal datasets was used with the absence of missing values for the comparison. These nominal datasets were taken from the UCI Machine Learning Repository and they were fed into the Naive Bayes, GBN and TAN for classification with ten-fold cross validation in WEKA software using 286 instances each containing 10 attributes. Naïve Bayes model gave an accuracy of 71.68% followed by 69.58% for TAN and 74.47% for GBN.

    In [4] adopted the genetic algorithm model which gave good results compared to other data mining models. It was a good tool to analyze data of breast cancer patients with respect to classification, expression & complexity. For the purpose of comparison artificial neural network, decision tree, logistic regression, and genetic algorithm were used. Accuracy & positive predictive value of each algorithm were utilized to evaluate the correct results.WBC database was included for the data analysis followed by the 10-fold cross-validation. The study showed that genetic algorithm was useful to get accurate results in the classification of breast cancer. The result was reliable& accurate.

    In [5] designed classification rules utilizing Particle Swarm Optimization Algorithm for breast cancer datasets. This study used the problem of feature subset selection as a pre- processing step to handle heavy computational efforts. The

    resulted datasets after feature selection were used for classification. It used particle swarm optimization algorithm.

    In [2] compared three very popular different databases of breast cancer (Wisconsin Breast Cancer (WBC), Wisconsin Prognosis Breast Cancer (WPBC) and Wisconsin Diagnosis Breast Cancer (WDBC). It used confusion matrix and classification accuracy based on 10-fold cross validation method. To obtain the appropriate multi classifier method it introduced a fusion at classification level between these classifiers for each data set. The results

    1. Naïve bayes:

      The Naïve Bayes is frequently used technique used for classification Algorithms in data mining. It is a simple probability classifier. It establishes mutual relation between the attributes. It depends on number of parameters. The classifier works on the principle that variables provided are independent. This paper has used this in healthcare sector to diagnose a type of breast cancer using the data provided. It improves the accuracy of diagnosis with computational effort & quick results. It is based on Bayes theorem as following formula.

    In the paper [3] used feature selection to diagnose the breast cancer. The method generated highest accuracy (99.51%, 99.02% and 98.53% for 8020% of training-test partition, 7030% of training-test partition and 5050% of training-test partition respectively) for a subset that carried five features. It also used other methods to show the performance of SVM with feature selection, such as sensitivity, specificity, confusion matrix, negative predictive value and positive predictive value and ROC curves.

  2. PROBLEM STATEMENT

    The purpose of this study is to develop a tool to diagnose Ductal carcinoma in situ, a form of breast cancer using Naïve bayes and Decision tree algorithm. It aims to compare the accuracy between these two algorithms.

  3. METHODOLOGY

    1. Data mining:

      Data mining is defined as a processwhich extracts hidden & useful information from a collection of data. Data mining uses two strategies: supervised and unsupervised learning. It utilizes various parameters to analyze the data. Potentially useful information is scanned & extracted under various headings.

    2. Classification:

    Classification techniques in data mining are the tools to process a huge amount of data. It can classify the data under various variables which are pre- defined & thus generate the desired results. It divides the data into predefined headings. Classification contains two phase such as training phase and testing phase. In training phase every sample in the training set is assumed to belong to a predefined class. In testing phase, unknown test samples are measured to classify using the model build using the training set. It is widely adopted method in healthcare system.

    The classification algorithms on Breast Cancer data can be useful to diagnose the outcome of some diseases or discover the genetic nature of tumor. This paper utilizes the classifications – Naïve Bayes & Decision tree methods.

    It is a type of classification where the knowledge is represented in the form of a tree. Tree shaped schematic representation is done to show the decisions. These decisions create rules for the classification of data. To classify the data, it is started with root node & divides the attributes till the terminal node is reached. The nodes are named with the attributes names, edges with positive values & leaves with different classes. The Decision tree representation is based on greedy algorithm which constructs the trees in a top down, recursive, divide and conquer method.

    Fig 1: Decision tree showing the manifestation of Breast cancer

    C4.5 Decision Tree algorithm is a software extension of the basic ID3 algorithm designed by Quinlan recursively visits each decision node selecting the optimal split. The division is continued till nu further division is possible.

    DT is so well known & widely used method as it does not need any domain knowledge or parameter setting. It can be used to explore knowledge in various fields. It is extensively used in healthcare diagnosis. Interactive Dichotomiser 3 (ID3) and C4.5 are the two well known DT algorithms proposed by Quinlan [13]. ID3 uses Entropy and Information Gain to construct a decision tree.

  4. DATA SET

    Data represents a group of information based on various parameters. This data includes various variables & attributes which are finally analyzed to arrive at a conclusion. The data required for this study is obtained from the case sheets of the patients suffering from breast cancer. The data was obtained from www.archive.ics.uci.edu. The dataset has information taken from 400 patients of breast cancer, of which 252 cases belong to benign class and the remaining 148 cases belong to malignant class. Data about the patient disease & details were collected & stored in database. Breast cancer in general was diagnosed & later classification was done as which type. Ductal carcinoma was diagnosed using the techniques developed.

    In this study, we have conducted our study based on the Wisconsin Breast Cancer Dataset (WBCD) taken from UCI machine learning repository (UCI Repository of Machine Learning Databases).
