Breast cancer stands as the most prevalent form of cancer among women, globally contributing to the highest number of cancer-related deaths. Timely detection of abnormalities significantly enhances the prospects of successful treatment and reduces mortality rates. Hence an automatic detection will be very useful for medical practitioner. This research introduces a novel framework for enhancing breast cancer detection and stage classification by integrating image processing techniques such as Gray Level Co-occurrence Matrix (GLCM) and Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) techniques. Initially, mammographic images undergo preprocessing to improve quality, followed by GLCM feature extraction for capturing textural information. With the help of GLCM technique, accuracy of the network can be increased by extracting various features. A CNN model is then employed for automatic feature learning and classification. This framework enhances the accuracy of distinguishing between malignant and benign tissues and extends to stage detection, enabling classification into various stages. Experimental results demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed approach in achieving high precision and recall rates, suggesting potential for clinical integration to improve patient outcomes and streamline healthcare workflows.
