|
|
## Background |
|
|
|
Cancer is the second leading cause of death worldwide, according to _IHME - Global Burden of Disease_, with 10.7 mln casualties in 2019. |
|
|
|

|
|
|
Amongst the various types of cancer, a huge role is played by breast cancer, which stands in 4th position among the deadliest tumors, with more than 700.000 deaths during 2019 (_IHME - Global Burden of Disease_). |
|
|
|

|
|
|
Moreover, breast cancer has the highest share of number of cases/100 people worldwide (0.23 cases/100 people; _IHME - Global Burden of Disease_), as shown in [table1](#table-1) |

### Table 1 |
|
|
|
| Type of Cancer | Cases per 100 people | |
|
|--------------------------------------|-------------------------------------------| |
|
| Breast Cancer | 0.23% | |
|
| Colon and Rectum Cancer | 0.14 | |
|
| Prostate cancer | 0.13 | |
|
| Bladder Cancer | 0.034 | |
|
| Stomach Cancer | 0.033 | |
|
|
|
In this sense, it is more than vital to put intense effort into precision medicine and diagnostic tools for what concerns breast cancer: part of this effort should involve making curated dataset of diagnostic images available to the large public. |
