Medical image analysis places a signifcant focus on breast cancer, which poses a signifcant threat to women’s health and contributes to many fatalities. An early and precise diagnosis of breast cancer through digital mammograms can signifcantly improve the accuracy of disease detection. Computer-aided diagnosis (CAD) systems must analyze the medical imagery and perform detection, segmentation, and classifcation processes to assist radiologists with accurately detecting breast lesions. However, early-stage mammography cancer detection is certainly difcult. Te deep convolutional neural network has demonstrated exceptional results and is considered a highly efective tool in the feld. Tis study proposes a computational framework for diagnosing breast cancer using a ResNet-50 convolutional neural network to classify mammogram images. To train and classify the INbreast dataset into benign or malignant categories, the framework utilizes transfer learning from the pretrained ResNet-50 CNN on ImageNet. Te results revealed that the proposed framework achieved an outstanding classifcation accuracy of 93%, surpassing other models trained on the same dataset. Tis novel approach facilitates early diagnosis and classifcation of malignant and benign breast cancer, potentially saving lives and resources. Tese outcomes highlight that deep convolutional neural network algorithms can be trained to achieve highly accurate results in various mammograms, along with the capacity to enhance medical tools by reducing the error rate in screening mammograms. 1. Introduction Te predominant cause of cancer-related deaths among women globally is breast cancer [1, 2] . According to a report by the World Health Organization’s (WHO) cancer research institute, the International Agency for Research on Cancer, in 2018 globally, 17.1 million breast cancer cases were reported. Te number of cases is predicted to increase to double the amount by 2025 [3] . Breast cancer is a highly invasive tumor that primarily afects women [4] . Te high death rate among women makes it the second deadliest malignancy after lung cancer [5, 6] . A study by the National Institute of Cancer in China found 1.67 million breast cancer
