Breast cancer remains a significant global public health concern, emphasizing the critical role of accurate histopathological analysis in diagnosis and treatment planning. In recent years, the advent of deep learning techniques has showcased notable potential in elevating the precision and efficiency of histopathological data analysis. The proposed work introduces a novel approach that harnesses the power of Transfer Learning to capitalize on knowledge gleaned from pre-trained models, adapting it to the nuanced landscape of breast cancer histopathology. Our proposed model, a Transfer Learning-based concatenated model, exhibits substantial performance enhancements compared to traditional methodologies. Leveraging well-established pretrained models such as VGG-16, MobileNetV2, ResNet50, and DenseNet121-each Convolutional Neural Network architecture designed for classification tasks-this study meticulously tunes hyperparameters to optimize model performance. The implementation of a concatenated classification model is systematically benchmarked against individual classifiers on histopathological data. Remarkably, our concatenated model achieves an impressive training accuracy of 98%. The outcomes of our experiments underscore the efficacy of this four-level concatenated model in advancing the accuracy of breast cancer histopathological data analysis. By synergizing the strengths of deep learning and transfer learning, our approach holds the potential to augment the diagnostic capabilities of pathologists, thereby contributing to more informed and personalized treatment planning for individuals diagnosed with breast cancer. This research heralds a promising stride toward leveraging cutting-edge technology to refine the understanding and management of breast cancer, marking a significant advancement in the intersection of artificial intelligence and healthcare.
