Abstract
In developed and developing countries, breast cancer is one of the leading forms of cancer affecting women alike. As a consequence of growing life expectancy, increasing urbanization and embracing Western lifestyles, the high prevalence of this cancer is noted in the developed world. This paper aims to develop a novel model that diagnoses Breast Cancer by using heterogeneous datasets. The model can work as a strong decision support system to help doctors to make the right decision in diagnosing breast cancer patients. The proposed model is based on three datasets to develop three sub-models. Each sub-model works independently. The final diagnosis decision is taken by the three sub-models independently. The power of the model comes from the diversity checks of patients and this reduces the risk of wrong diagnosing. The model has been developed by conducting intensive experiments. Several classification algorithms were used to select the best one in each sub-model. As the final results, the sub-model accuracies were 72%, 74% and 97%.
