ABSTRACT
The World Health Organization's International agency for Research on
Cancer in Lyon, France, estimates that more than 150 000 women worldwide
die of breast cancer each year. The breast cancer is one among the top
three cancers in American women. In United States, the American Cancer
Society estimates that, 215 990 new cases of breast carcinoma has been
diagnosed, in 2004. It is the leading cause of death due to cancer in
women under the age of 65 . In India, breast cancer accounts for 23% of
all the female cancers followed by cervical cancers (17.5%) in
metropolitan cities such as Mumbai, Calcutta, and Bangalore. However,
cervical cancer is still number one in rural India. Although the
incidence is lower in India than in the developed countries, the burden
of breast cancer in India is alarming. Organ chlorines are considered a
possible cause for hormone-dependent cancers . Detection of early and
subtle signs of breast cancer requires high-quality images and skilled
mammographic interpretation. In order to detect early onset of cancers
in breast screening, it is essential to have high-quality images.
Radiologists reading mammograms should be trained in the recognition of
the signs of early onset of, which may be subtle and may not show
typical malignant features. Mammography screening programs have shown to
be effective in decreasing breast cancer mortality through the
detection and treatment of early onset of breast cancers.
Emotional disturbances are known to occur in patient's suffering from
malignant diseases even after treatment. This is mainly because of a
fear of death, which modifies Quality Of Life (QOL). Desai et
al.,reported an immuno histo chemical analysis of steroid receptor
status in 798 cases of breast tumors encountered in Indian patients,
suggests that breast cancer seen in the Indian population may be
biologically different from that encountered in western practice. Most
imaging studies and biopsies of the breast are conducted using
mammography or ultrasound, in some cases, magnetic resonance (MR)
imaging . Although by now some progress has been achieved, there are
still remaining challenges and directions for future research such as
developing better enhancement and segmentation algorithms.
