Convolutional neural networks have emerged as an essential tool for image classification and object detection. In the health field, these tools are a crucial factor in saving time and minimizing the margin of error for the health system and employees. Breast cancer is the most common type of cancer in women worldwide. In many cases, it can threaten human life, resulting in death. Although methods have been developed for the early diagnosis of this health problem, its support with digital systems remains incomplete. In diagnosis, histopathological images are examined with microscope methods. In cases where the number of pathologies is insufficient, delay problems may occur and the error rate increases in manual controls. The study aims to design a deep-learning object detection method for the pre-detection of breast cancer. The publicly published BreaKHis dataset is used as the dataset. Model results that generated with VGG16, InceptionV3 and ResNet50 deep learning architectures have been compared. The highest accuracy rate have been obtained with the proposed model as 85%. Accuracy, AUC, precision, recall, F-score performance metrics have been analyzed for each model. A decision support system screen design has been created using the proposed model weight file. With the study, the computer-assisted clinical support system makes clinicians' life more manageable and recommends early diagnosis.
