Abstract: Breast cancer is the world’s top cancer affecting women. While the danger of the factors varies from a place, lifestyle, and diet. Treatment procedures after discovering a confirmed cancer case can reduce the risk of the disease. Unfortunately, breast cancers that arise in low and middle-income countries are diagnosed at a very late stage in which the chances of survival are impeded and reduced. Early detection is therefore required not only to improve the accuracy of discovering breast cancer but also to increase the chances of making the right decision on a successful treatment plan. There have been several studies tending to build software models utilizing machine learning and soft computing techniques for cancer detection. This research aims to build a model scheme to facilitate the detection of breast cancer and to provide the exact diagnosis. Improving the accuracy of a proposed model has, therefore, been one of the key fields of study. The model is based on deep learning that intends to develop a framework to accurately separate benign and malignant breast tumors. This study optimizes the learning algorithm by applying the Dragonfly algorithm to select the best features and perfect parameter values of the deep learning model. Moreover, it compares deep learning results against that of support vector machine (SVM), random forest (RF), and k nearest neighbor (KNN). Those classifiers are chosen as they are the most reliable algorithms having a solid fingerprint in the field of clinical data classification. Consequently, the hybrid model of deep learning combined with binary dragonfly has accurately classified between benign and malignant breast tumors with fewer features. Besides, deep learning model has achieved better accuracy in classifying Wisconsin Breast Cancer Database using all available features.
