Computational approaches have been used for analyzing risk factors together with conventional mammograms for breast cancer detection. Currently, other screening methods like electro-impedance mammography are available. Notwithstanding, as far as we know there is not related work evaluating the role of electrical-conductivity index of the mammary gland as a quantitative factor for early detection of breast cancer. This paper aims to demonstrate the importance of including breast conductivity index as a quantitative local risk-factor by analyzing a dataset of Mexican patients from a machine learning perspective. There are 12 attributes distributed into two groups: electrical-conductivity (3) and medical records (9). According to the obtained results with unsupervised methods, the performance in terms of accuracy of using only electrical-conductivity (43%) is better than using all available features (38%) and the medical records (33%). On the other hand, we identified that SVM achieves higher results in comparison with other algorithms when only the electrical-features are used. The obtained results demonstrate the important role of conductivity index as a quantitative local risk-factor for being considered in screening processes. Besides, it emerges as an important aspect to be included in the development of automatic tools for experts to perform breast cancer diagnosis. |
