An abnormal growth of cells in the brain is called a brain tumor. A brain tumor consists of a collection of abnormally functioning brain cells that have begun to grow and reproduce inappropriately. The uncontrolled growth of group of cells compresses and damages normal brain structures, which causes a variety of neurological symptoms. According to the reports of National Cancer Institute, Primary brain tumors are the leading cause of tumor cancer deaths in children, now surpassing acute lymphoblast leukemia and are the third leading cause of cancer death in young adults ages 20 to 39. There are more than 120 different types of brain tumors, making effective treatment very complicated. As per classification system defined by World Health Organization (WHO), brain tumor is named for the cell type of origin. Brain tumors can either originate from within the brain or from cancer cells that have metastasized from other organs or tissues. Various techniques are developed in the past to detect brain tumor. This research work proposed a Brain tumor Hybrid SFC Technique for segmentation using K-means Clustering from MRI using DWT & PCA for Feature Extraction and SVM for Classification.
