Raman Spectroscopy and Node-Level Sparse Graph Attention Capsule Neural Network for Biomarker-Based Breast Cancer Detection and Staging from Blood
摘要
Breast cancer (BC) remains a critical global health challenge, necessitating early and precise diagnostic tools. This study uses Raman spectroscopy and sophisticated machine learning to offer a revolutionary automated approach for non-invasive breast cancer detection and staging. The Cumulative Curve Fitting Approximation (CCFA) algorithm is introduced for preprocessing, effectively eliminating noise and baseline drift to enhance spectral clarity. Feature selection is optimized through the Hybrid War Strategy Optimization with Tactical Unit Algorithm (WSO-TUA), which identifies the most informative spectral biomarkers, reducing redundancy and dimensionality. For classification, a Node-Level Sparse Graph Attention Capsule Neural Network (NSGACNN) is developed, which captures both local dependencies and hierarchical relationships in the data, improving feature representation and robustness. Furthermore, the Hyperbolic Sine Optimizer (HSO) is employed for hyperparameter tuning, enhancing convergence and model generalization. Tested on 2,340 blood plasma Raman spectra, the suggested system outperforms conventional models in terms of computing efficiency and diagnostic precision, achieving an accuracy of 99.85%. These results establish a reliable, high-performance framework for biomarker-based breast cancer detection and staging.
