Özet

Cancer is a significant public health issue due to its high prevalence and lethality, particularly lung and colon cancers, which account for over a quarter of all cancer cases. This study aims to enhance the detection rate of lung and colon cancer by designing an automated diagnosis system. The system focuses on early detection through image pre-processing with a 2D Gaussian filter, while maintaining simplicity to minimize computational requirements and runtime. The study employs three Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) models-MobileNet, VGG16, and ResNet50-to diagnose five types of cancer: Colon Adenocarcinoma, Benign Colonic Tissue, Lung Adenocarcinoma, Benign Lung Tissue, and Lung Squamous Cell Carcinoma. A large dataset comprising 25 000 histopathological images is utilized. Additionally, the research addresses the need for safety levels in the model by using Class Activation Mapping (CAM) for explanatory purposes. Experimental results indicate that the proposed system achieves a high diagnostic accuracy of 99.38% for lung and colon cancers. This high performance underscores the effectiveness of the automated system in detecting these types of cancer. The findings from this study support the potential for early diagnosis of lung and colon cancers, which can facilitate timely therapeutic interventions and improve patient outcomes.
