ABSTRACT
Breast cancer is the second most common cancer worldwide, primarily affecting women, while histopathological image analysis is one of the possibile methods used to determine tumor malignancy. Regarding image analysis, the application of deep learning has become increasingly prevalent in recent years. However, a significant issue is the unbalanced nature of available datasets, with some classes having more images than others, which may impact the performance of the models due to poorer generalizability. A possible strategy to avoid this problem is downsampling the class with the most images to create a balanced dataset. Nevertheless, this approach is not recommended for small datasets as it can lead to poor model performance. Instead, techniques such as data augmentation are traditionally used to address this issue. These techniques apply simple transformations such as translation or rotation to the images to increase variability in the dataset. Another possibility is using generative adversarial networks (GANs), which can generate images from a relatively small training set. This work aims to enhance model performance in classifying histopathological images by applying data augmentation using GANs instead of traditional techniques.
