Abstract — Breast cancer is regarded as the nemesis that threatens women’s health worldwide. This disease was subject to a lot of research to improve the accuracy of its diagnosis and detection. Even the condition is still crown as most life-  threatening diseases posting a threat to the life of one out of eight women. The ambiguity of the cause of it make it difficult for handling such a disease and it makes the preventive approach impossible. Therefore, the last resort that the targets of this disease find themselves with is early detection. By image processing techniqur, this paper will help give an accurate method to detect the disease at its infant stage. In this paper , a detailed explanation will be given regarding the steps followed in image processing: image enhancement, segmentation, and feature extraction that is done using a Convolutional Neural Network (CNN).
