This document summarizes several papers on using soft computing techniques for early detection of breast cancer. It discusses how techniques like K-nearest neighbors (KNN), support vector machines (SVM), fuzzy C-means, and artificial neural networks (ANN) have been applied to mammogram images and breast cancer data to classify tumors and detect cancer at earlier stages. Feature extraction methods like gray level co-occurrence matrix (GLCM) have also been used to identify textures that can help with classification. The papers find that combinations of these soft computing and image processing approaches can accurately classify cancer and detect it earlier than traditional methods, helping to improve treatment outcomes for breast cancer patients.
