“…The risk of local recurrence of breast cancer is low (1 % at 1 year and 5 % at 5 years) [ 6 , 7 ] and the majority of recurrences are identified by patients themselves, with clinical examination providing little value in identifying recurrent disease over and above annual mammography [ 7 , 8 ]. A study by Beltran-Bless et al highlighted this, with only 1.14 % of local recurrences detected by healthcare providers at routinely scheduled follow up appointments [ 9 ]. This model incurred costs, in terms of financial and human resources, and did not lead to enhanced detection of recurrent disease [ 4 ].…”

“…Afterward, they are routinely scheduled for physical exams for several years. 25 As a result, healthcare systems will struggle to keep up with the growing demand from BC patients, survivors, and complex care requirements. In addition to that, there is a shortage of healthcare workers, and cost control is also a pressing concern.…”

“…Patients diagnosed with early BC typically undergo surgery, chemotherapy, and radiation for acute‐phase treatment. Afterward, they are routinely scheduled for physical exams for several years 25 . As a result, healthcare systems will struggle to keep up with the growing demand from BC patients, survivors, and complex care requirements.…”

Recent research indicates that early detection of breast cancer (BC) is critical in achieving favorable treatment outcomes and reducing the mortality rate associated with it. With the difficulty in obtaining a balanced dataset that is primarily sourced for the diagnosis of the disease, many researchers have relied on data augmentation techniques, thereby having varying datasets with varying quality and results. The dataset we focused on in this study is crafted from SHapley Additive exPlanations (SHAP)‐augmentation and random augmentation (RA) approaches to dealing with imbalanced data. This was carried out on the Wisconsin BC dataset and the effectiveness of this approach to the diagnosis of BC was checked using six machine‐learning algorithms. RA synthetically generated some parts of the dataset while SHAP helped in assessing the quality of the attributes, which were selected and used for the training of the models. The result from our analysis shows that the performance of the models used generally increased to more than 3% for most of the models using the dataset obtained by the integration of SHAP and RA. Additionally, after diagnosis, it is important to focus on providing quality care to ensure the best possible outcomes for patients. The need for proper management of the disease state is crucial so as to reduce the recurrence of the disease and other associated complications. Thus the interpretability provided by SHAP enlightens the management strategies in this study focusing on the quality of care given to the patient and how timely the care is.
