Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Cancer is the most common cause of death in developed countries such as the United States, Japan, and the United Kingdom, and it has been shown that the number of patients has a further upsurge in aged people. As per the World Health Organization (WHO), cancer is a leading cause of death worldwide, reporting nearly 10 million deaths in 2020, or almost one in six. The most common cancers include lung, breast, colon, rectum, prostate, and brain. Over the past decade, artificial intelligence (AI) has contributed significantly to resolving various healthcare problems, specifically relating to cancer. Integrating AI and its components such as machine and deep learning in oncology care could lead to progress in prognosis, diagnosis, accuracy, and clinical decision making, leading to better health outcomes. AI-supported clinical care has the potential to play an essential role in addressing health discrepancies, especially in low-resource settings.

This Special Issue invites authors to present their findings, reviews, and challenging experiences of artificial intelligence in different types of human cancers, such as brain, bone, breast, liver, lung, head and neck, gastric, colorectal, and colon.

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. Full article
