A Comparative Analysis of Federated Learning for Multi-Class Breast Cancer Classification in Ultrasound Imaging
Breast cancer is the second leading cause of cancer-related mortality among women. Early detection enables timely treatment, improving survival outcomes. This paper presents a comparative evaluation of federated learning (FL) frameworks for multiclass breast cancer classification using ultrasound images drawn from three datasets: BUSI, BUS-UCLM, and BCMID, which include 600, 38, and 323 patients, respectively. Five state-of-the-art networks were tested, with MobileNet, ResNet and InceptionNet identified as the most effective for FL deployment. Two aggregation strategies, FedAvg and FedProx, were assessed under varying levels of data heterogeneity in two and three client settings. Results from experiments indicate that the FL models outperformed local and centralized training, bypassing the adverse impacts of data isolation and domain shift. In the two-client federations, FL achieving up to 8% higher accuracy and almost 6% higher macro-F1 scores on average that local and centralized training. FedProx on MobileNet maintained a stable performance in the three-client federation with best average accuracy of 73.31%, and macro-F1 of 67.3% despite stronger heterogeneity. Consequently, these results suggest that the proposed multiclass model has the potential to support clinical workflows by assisting in automated risk stratification. If deployed, such a system could allow radiologists to prioritize high-risk patients more effectively. The findings emphasize the potential of federated learning as a scalable, privacy-preserving infrastructure for collaborative medical imaging and breast cancer diagnosis.
