Abstract
Breast cancer is a leading cause of cancer-related mortality worldwide, making accurate histopathological subtype discrimination critical for timely clinical intervention. Existing deep learning approaches often evaluate limited settings (binary or multi-class, single magnification), restricting comparative utility and clinical interpretability. This study proposes a unified Cross Stage Partial Network (CSPNet)-based framework for comprehensive classification on the BreaKHis dataset. A CSPResNet50 backbone pre-trained on ImageNet was extended with a multi-scale Feature Pyramid-style aggregation head, Squeeze-and-Excitation channel attention, dual Global Average and Max Pooling per scale (153...
