An Advanced Lung Carcinoma Prediction and Risk Screening Model Using Transfer Learning

Lung cancer, also known as lung carcinoma, has a high death rate, but an early diagnosis can substantially reduce this risk. In the current era, prediction models face challenges such as low accuracy, excessive noise, and low contrast. To resolve these problems, an advanced lung carcinoma prediction and risk screening model using transfer learning is proposed. Our proposed model initially preprocesses lung computed tomography images for noise removal, contrast stretching, convex hull lung region extraction, and edge enhancement. The next phase segments the preprocessed images using the modified Bates distribution coati optimization (B-RGS) algorithm to extract key features. The PResNet classifier then categorizes the cancer as normal or abnormal. For abnormal cases, further risk screening determines whether the risk is low or high. Experimental results depict that our proposed model performs at levels similar to other state-of-the-art models, achieving enhanced accuracy, precision, and recall rates of 98.21%, 98.71%, and 97.46%, respectively. These results validate the efficiency and effectiveness of our suggested methodology in early lung carcinoma prediction and risk assessment.
