Causes of cancer
Cancer is a complex group of diseases, and its causes are multifactorial, often involving a
combination of genetic, environmental, and lifestyle factors. While not all cancers share
the same set of causes, common contributors to the development of cancer include:
1. Genetic Factors
2. Environmental Factors
3. Lifestyle Choices
4. Age
5. Infections
6. Hormones
7. Sun Exposure
8. Occupational Exposures
9. Chronic Inflammation
Mammography
Mammography, called Mastography, is the process of using a low dose of X-ray
to test breast screening.
Mammography is a pivotal key for the early detection in fighting breast
cancer.
It’s an accurate way to detect tiny bits of calcium, called microcalcifications.
There are two main types of mammography called digital tomosynthesis
having the same executing mechanism.

Dataset
Mammographic Image Analysis Society (MIAS), an organization including UK
research organizations, offers a digital mammograms database focusing on
comprehending mammograms.
The database is highly accessible and widely utilized due to its ease of
access. It comprises 322 digitized mammography images, including both right
and left breast images of 161 patients (a pair for each patient).
The images are in Portable Gray Map (PGM) format and have a resolution of 50
microns. The MIAS dataset consists of two categories: normal and abnormal
classes.
There are a total of 208 photos classified as normal, while 114 images are
classified as abnormal. Among the abnormal images, 63 are classified as
benign and 51 are classified as malignant.
Each picture is a grayscale image with a dimension of 1024×1024 pixels [33-
35,48]. The database was obtained from the Mammographic Image Analysis
Society (MIAS) database v1.21, which is hosted on the cam.ac.uk website.
