Abstract
Survival from breast cancer is directly related to the stage at diagnosis. The earlier the detection, the higher chances of successful treatment [1]. In an attempt to improve early detection, a study has been undertaken to analyze the screening mammograms of breast cancer patients taken prior to cancer detection.
