Summary
This study introduces a deep learning model for accurate Oral Squamous Cell Carcinoma (OSCC) detection from histopathology images. The novel SEHDL-OSCCR technique achieves 98.75% accuracy, improving early cancer diagnosis.
Area of Science:
- Oncology
- Medical Imaging
- Artificial Intelligence
Background:
- Oral Squamous Cell Carcinoma (OSCC) diagnosis is challenging due to histopathology complexity and variability.
- Current diagnostic methods for OSCC have limitations in efficiency and accuracy.
- Deep learning (DL) offers potential for automated, accurate medical image analysis in oncology.
Purpose of the Study:
- To develop and evaluate a hybrid deep learning model for accurate Oral Squamous Cell Carcinoma (OSCC) recognition from histopathological images.
- To streamline the OSCC diagnostic process, enabling earlier detection and improved patient survival rates.
Main Methods:
- A Squeeze-Excitation with Hybrid Deep Learning for Oral Squamous Cell Carcinoma Recognition (SEHDL-OSCCR) model was developed.
- The technique involves bilateral filtering for noise reduction, SE-CapsNet for feature extraction, and an improved crayfish optimization algorithm (ICOA) for performance enhancement.
- Classification was performed using a Convolutional Neural Network with a Bidirectional Long Short-Term Memory (CNN-BiLSTM) model.
Main Results:
- The SEHDL-OSCCR technique demonstrated high accuracy in identifying OSCC from histopathological images.
- Experimental validation on a benchmark dataset yielded an accuracy of 98.75%.
- The proposed method outperformed recent approaches in OSCC detection accuracy.
Conclusions:
- The SEHDL-OSCCR technique shows significant promise for automated and accurate OSCC diagnosis.
- This deep learning approach can assist pathologists, reduce diagnostic turnaround times, and improve the efficacy of oral cancer detection.
- The high accuracy achieved suggests potential for clinical application in early oral cancer diagnosis.
