Abstract

Cancer is a very common disease in today’s era, and it is common in both men and women. There are various types of cancer like leukaemia, ovarian cancer, and skin cancer. Cancer occurs when there is abnormal growth of cell during the cell division due to which this cell starts growing into mass, hence forming the tumor. Likewise, lung cancer also occurs in the same way but the reason behind the cause of the deadly disease is smoking, but other than smoking, there are also many causes like exposure to radon gas and second-hand smoking. Prediction of lung cancer at early stage is very important so that many lives can be saved. This chapter is focused on prediction of lung cancer using artificial neural network and convolutional neural network. For the prediction of cancer, as it is an image dataset so the image was pre-processed using digital image technique after image pre-processing image was segmented and after segmentation feature was extracted; finally, at the end, deep learning method was applied for prediction of cancer at early stage.
