Abstract

In Iraq and across the world, cancer has become a deadly disease and more and more people are suffering from cancer. One study says that 1 in 30 women will suffer from this disease in their lifetime, that is why the project was conceived because of the increasing incidence of maternal cancer, and the most important thing is that we can detect cancer. In the afternoon there are many treatment possibilities. So, this project explores the foundations of automatic cancer detection so that everyone can be diagnosed early and more comprehensively, making breast cancer the most prevalent cancer worldwide (Parkin et al., 2005).
