Abstract

The World Health Organisation has identified cancer as one of the foremost causes of death globally which reports that nearly one in six deaths is due to cancer. Hence, an early and correct diagnosis is required to assist doctors in selecting the accurate and best treatment option for the patient. Pathological data have huge tumour information that can be used to diagnose cancer. Digitizing pathological data into images and its analysis using Deep learning applications will be a significant contribution to clinical testing. Due to advancements in technology, artificial intelligence (AI) and digital pathology can now be combined allowing for image-based diagnosis. This study uses residual networks (ResNet-50) and convolutional neural network (CNN), which is pre-trained on ImageNet dataset to train and categories lung histopathology images into non-cancerous, lung adenocarcinoma, and lung squamous cell carcinoma delivering an accuracy of 98.9%. Experimentation results show that the ResNet-50 model delivers finer classification results when compared to state-of-the-art methods.
