Abstract - Breast cancer is one of the most widely spreading diseases and the second leading cause of cancer death among women. [3].The survival rate increases on detecting breast cancer early as better treatment can be provided. Data classification using machine learning has been widely used in the diagnosis of breast cancer and for early detection of breast cancer. The aim of this literature review is to focus on the use of machine learning in classification of available data in breast cancer early detection and diagnosis. On reviewing several papers of artificial intelligence it is apparent that there are different techniques available for cancer detection. The objective of this study is to summarize various review and technical articles on diagnosis and prognosis of breast cancer. It gives an overview of the current research being carried out on various breast cancer datasets using the data mining techniques to enhance the breast cancer diagnosis and prognosis.
According to WHO, India has approximate 1.5 million patient diagnosed of breast cancer every year, in year 2015 alone500,000women are estimated to die because of this cancer[5],and roughly 9.6 million deaths in 2018 [10]. This gap between incidence and mortality is wide, which means performance improvement is needed on early breast cancer detection. Hence, improvements in existing techniques are required to predict breast cancer at an early stage. There are two type of breast cancer as follows: 1.1 Benign Tumors: Noncancerous If the cells are not cancerous, the tumor is benign. It won't invade nearby tissues or spread to other areas of the body (metastasize). A benign tumor is less worrisome unless it is pressing on nearby tissues, nerves, or blood vessels and causing damage. Fibroids in the uterus or lymphomas are examples of benign tumors. Benign tumors may need to be removed by surgery. They can grow very large, sometimes weighing pounds. They can press on vital organs or block channels. Some types of benign tumors such as intestinal polyps are considered precancerous and are removed to prevent them becoming malignant. Benign tumors usually don't recur once removed, but if they do it is usually in the same place. [24]

INTRODUCTION Breast cancer (BC) is one of the most common malignancies in women. Early diagnosis of Breast Cancer and metastasis among the patients based on an accurate system can increase survival of the patients to >86%. Breast cancer starts when malignant lumps which are cancerous begin to grow from the breast cells. Doctors may wrongly diagnose benign tumour (which is noncancerous) as malignant tumour. There is need for a computer aided detection (CAD) systems which uses machine learning approach to provide accurate diagnosis of breast cancer. [8]These computers aided detection(CAD) systems can aid in detecting breast cancer at an early stage. When, breast cancer is detected early enough, the survival rate increases because better treatment can be provided [3]. Early detection of cancer is critical to improve breast cancer survival and to reduce the high mortality rate of Breast Cancer. Despite early detection and the advent of new treatments, about 50% of patients will develop distant metastases during their follow-up time.

1.2 Malignant Tumors: Cancerous Malignant means that the tumor is made of cancer cells and it can invade nearby tissues. Some cancer cells can move into the bloodstream or lymph nodes, where they can spread to other tissues within the body—this is called metastasis. Cancer can occur anywhere in the body including the breast, intestines, lungs, reproductive organs, blood, and skin. Once breast cancer has spread to the lymph nodes, the cancer cells can travel to other areas of the body, like the liver or bones. The breast cancer cells can then form tumors in those locations. A biopsy of these tumors might show characteristics of the original breast cancer tumor. [23]
