In order to reduce the computational complexity of breast tumor segmentation algorithms and improve the accuracy of breast segmentation, this paper proposes a breast tumor segmentation method based on super pixel boundary perceptual convolutional network. This method first uses super pixel segmentation convolutional network algorithm to segment breast medical images, and then uses region growth algorithm to achieve breast tumor segmentation at super pixel level. The research results show that in the classification of breast tumors, the fusion efficiency based on the classifier level is better than the fusion based on the feature set; the index R proposed and adopted in this paper can effectively select the appropriate individual classifier and generate a better performing integration 06%. Classifier, the accuracy of this classifier is 88.73%, the sensitivity is 97.06%. The method can be used to assist doctors in breast cancer diagnosis, improve the efficiency and accuracy of doctors' work diagnosis, and has certain significance for clinical research and large-scale screening of breast cancer.

Core Set

The International Classification of Functioning, Disability, and Health (ICF) aims at standardization, but its applicability requires consistent instruments. In Brazil, invasive therapeutic approaches are frequent, leading to functional alterations. The current study thus aimed to identify and discuss instruments capable of measuring ICF core set codes for breast cancer. The review included ICF studies in women with breast cancer diagnosis and studies with the objective of translating and validating instruments for the Brazilian population, and consistent with the codes. Review studies, systematic or not, were excluded. Eight instruments were selected, and the WHOQOL-Bref was the most comprehensive. The use of various instruments showed 19 coinciding codes, and the instruments as a whole covered 58 of the total of 81 codes. The use of multiple instruments is time-consuming, so new studies are needed to propose parsimonious tools capable of measuring functioning in women treated for breast cancer.

Cancer Experience

10549 Background: Breast cancer is the most frequently diagnosed malignancy among North American women, accounting for about 30% of all new cases each year. Although male breast cancer accounts for less than 1% of all breast cancer cases, recent reports indicate significantly increasing incidence. Research suggests that men diagnosed with breast cancer experience serious psychologic issues including feeling less masculine by having a woman’s disease, feeling isolated with a rare malignancy and feeling uncomfortable seeking or receiving support. Men may also experience post-surgical effects including changed appearance of the male chest and decreased arm strength. There have been numerous large-scale studies examining womens’ experiences with breast cancer. To date, there have been no North American studies examining what a man experiences with a breast cancer diagnosis. The objective of this qualitative study was to determine the experiences of a sample of Canadian men diagnosed with breast cancer. Methods: After ethics approval, an invitation letter and consent form were mailed to those individuals listed as “male”, “breast cancer”, and “alive”, in the Alberta Cancer Registry. 20 men responded indicating their interest. After written consent, audiotaped interviews were conducted. As little is known about a man’s experience with breast cancer, an exploratory qualitative methodology was utilized. Results: We found a great variability among the participants with respect to whom they disclosed their diagnosis, how they viewed their masculinity after a breast cancer diagnosis and their views on life after a cancer experience. All participants stated that there was a major lack of awareness about male breast cancer, both in the public and health professional domain. All participants identified a lack of written information specific for men with breast cancer. All participants denied interest in traditional “support” groups, but would have welcomed the opportunity to speak with a man who had gone through similar diagnosis and treatment. Conclusions: Needs identified by the respondents include increased medical and public awareness of male breast cancer as well as specific written information. Further research is necessary to identify supports and resources helpful for male patients. No significant financial relationships to disclose.
