Stacked neural nets for increased accuracy on classification on lung cancer

Lung cancer is regarded as one of the most lethal diseases endangering human survival. It is difficult to detect lung cancer in its early stages, because of the ambiguity in the lung regions in the medical images. Healthcare business is automating itself with the use of image recognition and data analytics, much as the computing sector has completely automated. This article proposes a novel architecture, the Stacked Neural Network (SNN), for the detection and classification of lung cancer using CT scan data. The goal of the proposed technique is to investigate the accuracy levels of different Neural Networks (NN) and determine the early stage of lung cancer. The most effective technique for processing medical images, classifying and detecting lung nodules, extracting features, and predicting the stage of lung cancer is deep learning. First, lung areas are extracted using image processing techniques. SNN is used for the segmentation process. Various neural network techniques are utilised for the classification process once the features are retrieved from the segmented pictures. The suggested methods' performances are assessed using F1-Measure, accuracy, precision, and recall metrics. 96% classification accuracy is shown in the testing findings, which is comparatively greater than other methods currently in use. Proposed algorithm is clearly supported for real-world clinical practice
