Abstract

Cancer is a leading cause of human loss worldwide. Lung cancer has a relatively high death rate. Patients' lives can be saved by early lung cancer identification. Lung cancer can be detected in a variety of ways. One of the most effective techniques is Computed Tomography (CT). In the literature, numerous approaches utilizing deep learning and machine learning have been put forth. This study suggested a deep learning approach for lung cancer detection without professional consultation. In this paper VGG16 model with transfer learning is used. VGG16 gives best results for image processing method in all perspectives. This paper classifies the dataset into three classes likely: normal, Benign and malignant. Dataset is divided into training, testing and validation parts. The model is trained with 80% data, validates with 10% data and finally tested with 10% data. The kappa score and F1 score obtained by VGG16 for lung cancer is 98% and 96.43%. The VGG16 with transfer learning introduced in this paper enhance the accuracy of lung cancer detection and outperforms traditional image processing methods across multiple performance metrics.
