An Efficient Deep Learning Model based Diagnosis System for Lung Cancer Disease

Lung cancer illness seriously impacts people's health. Medical history-based detection of lung cancers has been utilized but it has unsatisfactory results. Artificial intelligence algorithms are more precise and efficient in classifying lung cancer patients and healthy persons. Additionally, the medical history-based diagnosis of lung cancer disease is costly and time consuming. The life of lung cancer disease is very short after detection. Artificial intelligence-based diagnosis systems can detect the lung cancer disease early and efficiently. However, previous research work as several limitations, for example, some techniques computation time is very high but their accuracy is good while some techniques have less computation time but accuracy is not good. The proposed work suggests a deep convolutional neural network-based diagnosis system for lung cancer disease early and accurate detection. We made use of publically available dataset downloaded from Kaggle online repository and applied deep convolutional neural network for accurate lung cancer detection. Furthermore, we have applied some preprocessing and features selection techniques such as max, min, standard deviation and variance threshold. The proposed CNN model achieved 99.2% validation accuracy, 99.8% training accuracy, 99% precision, and 99% recall in minimum computation time of 6 sec which is acceptable.
