Breast cancer prediction using gated attentive multimodal deep learning

Abstract

Abstract Women are prone to breast cancer, which is a major cause of death. One out of every eight women has a lifetime risk of developing this cancer. Early diagnosis of this disease is critical and enhances the success rate of cure. It is extremely important to determine which genes are associated with the disease. However, too many features make studies on gene data challenging. In this study, an attention-based multimodal deep learning model was created by combining data from clinical, copy number alteration and gene expression sources. Attention-based deep learning models can analyze mammography images and identify subtle patterns or abnormalities that may indicate the presence of cancer. These models can also integrate patient data, such as age and family history, to improve the accuracy of predictions. The objective of this study is to help breast cancer prediction tasks and improve efficiency by incorporating attention mechanisms. Our suggested methodology employs multimodal data and generates insightful characteristics to improve the prediction of the prognosis for breast cancer. It is a two-phase model; the first phase generates the stacked features using a sigmoid gated attention convolutional neural network, and the second phase uses flatten, dense and dropout processes for bi-modal attention. Based on our findings, the proposed model produced successful results and has the potential to significantly improve breast cancer detection and diagnosis, ultimately leading to better patient outcomes.
