Abstract One of the dangerous diseases is breast cancer, which threatens women and men to the same extent. But women are more affected by this disease. Computer-Aided Diagnosis (CAD) is the optimal method for the early detection of breast cancer. It can reduce the false positives in radiologist diagnosis, which leads to reduce the death-rate. This paper presents a feature extraction technique with mammography images to breast mass recognition. Then, distinguishing normal tissue and abnormal breast masses. The mini-MIAS database of mammograms was used in this paper. Gray Level Co-occurrence Matrix is the method that was used to extract features from the region of interest. The best sensitivity, specificity, and accuracy are observed with a k nearest neighbor classifier.
