Abstract
Breast cancer is a disease that arises due to the growth of breast tissue cells that are not normal. The detection of breast cancer malignancy level / stage relies heavily on the results of the analysis of the doctor. To assist the analysis, this research aims to develop a software that can determine the stage of breast cancer based on the size of the cancerous tissue. Steps of the research consist of mammogram image acquisition, determining the ROI (Region of Interest), using Region growing segmentation method, measuring the area of suspected cancer, and determine the stage classification of the area on the mammogram image by using Sample K-Means Clustering method. Based on 33 malignant (abnormal) mammogram sample images taken from the mini mammography database of MIAS, the proposed method can detect stage of breast cancer is in malignant group.

Cancer is a group of diseases that cause cells in the body to change and grow out of control
The aim of this paper is to propose a method to determine the stage of breast cancer malignancy based on cancer size on mammogram image based on cancer size
The method proposed in this paper is to classify the stages of malignancy of breast cancer based on the mammogram image, through segmentation by sample K-Means clustering method
Summary
Cancer is a group of diseases that cause cells in the body to change and grow out of control. Most types of cancer cells eventually form a lump or masses called a tumor, and are named after the part of the body where the tumor originates. Breast cancer begins in breast tissue, which is made up of glands for milk production, called lobules, and the ducts that connect lobules to the nipple. The remainder of the breast is made up of fatty, connective, and lymphatic tissue [1]. Breast cancer is leading cause of cancer deaths among women. In 2013, an estimate 232.340 new cases of invasive breast cancer will be diagnosed among women, as well as an estimated 64.640 additional cases of in situ breast cancer, and appoximately 39.620 women are expected to die from breast cancer [1]
