Early Lung Cancer Prediction using deep Learning
Abstract: Lung cancer is a global killer because it’s often found late. Finding it early is key to treatment and survival so computer assisted diagnostics are essential. This research uses deep learning to spot early stage lung cancer from CT scans. We trained and fine-tuned three convolutional neural networks—ResNet50, Dense Net 201 and EfficientNet-B0—using transfer learning. We preprocessed the lung CT images by resizing, normalizing and augmenting them to enhance the …
