According to the American Cancer Society’s forecasts for 2019, there will be about 268,600 new cases in the United States with invasive breast cancer in women, about 62,930 new noninvasive cases, and about 41,760 death cases from breast cancer. As a result, there is a high demand for breast imaging specialists as indicated in a recent report for the Institute of Medicine and National Research Council. One way to meet this demand is through developing Computer-Aided Diagnosis (CAD) systems for breast cancer detection and diagnosis using mammograms. This study aims to review recent advancements and developments in CAD systems for breast cancer detection and diagnosis using mammograms and to give an overview of the methods used in its steps starting from preprocessing and enhancement step and ending in classification step. The current level of performance for the CAD systems is encouraging but not enough to make CAD systems standalone detection and diagnose clinical systems. Unless the performance of CAD systems enhanced dramatically from its current level by enhancing the existing methods, exploiting new promising methods in pattern recognition like data augmentation in deep learning and exploiting the advances in computational power of computers, CAD systems will continue to be a second opinion clinical procedure.

In the last decade, there have been extensive reports of world health organization (WHO) on breast cancer. About 2.1 million women are affected every year and it is the second most leading cause of cancer death in women. Initial detection and diagnosis of cancer appreciably increase the chance of saving lives and reduce treatment costs. In this paper, we perform a survey of the techniques utilized in breast cancer detection and diagnosis in image processing, machine learning (ML), and deep learning (DL). We also proposed a novel computer-vision based cost-effective method for breast cancer detection and diagnosis. Along with the detection and diagnosis of breast cancer, our proposed method is capable of finding the exact position of the abnormality present in the breast that will help in breast-conserving surgery or partial mastectomy. The proposed method is the simplest and cost-effective approach that has produced highly accurate and useful outcomes when compared with the existing approach.
