Detecting mass lesions not only helps reduce the cost of treating breast cancer but also enhances the lifespan of patients. Various computer-aided detection (CAD) systems have been developed to assist physicians in detecting mass in mammograms for early cancer screening. In this paper, a method for suspicious massive lesion segmentation in patches is proposed, which modified UNet with EfficientNet as the encoder. The proposed architectures are evaluated on publicly available dataset, namely the Curated Breast Imaging Subset of Digital Database for Screening Mammography (CBIS-DDSM). The quantitative results show that the proposed architecture can achieve mass segmentation with segmentation ac- curacy, Dice and IoU scores of 95.23%, 92.56% and 88.81% respectively in patches extracted from CBIS-DDSM.
