Lung cancer is a form of carcinoma that develops as a result of aberrant cell growth or mutation in the lungs. Most of the time, this occurs due to daily exposure to hazardous chemicals. However, this is not the only cause of lung cancer; additional factors include smoking, indirect smoke exposure, family medical history, and so on. Cancer cells, unlike normal cells, proliferate inexorably and cluster together to create masses or tumors. The symptoms of this disease do not appear until cancer cells have moved to other parts of the body and are interfering with the healthy functioning of other organs. As a solution to this problem, Machine Learning (ML) algorithms are used to diagnose lung cancer. The image datasets for this study were obtained from Kaggle. The images are preprocessed using various approaches before being used to train the image model. Texture-based Feature Extraction (FE) algorithms such as Generalized Low-Rank Models (GLRM) and Gray-level co-occurrence matrix (GLCM) are then used to extract the essential characteristics from the image dataset. To develop a model, the collected features are given into ML classifiers like the Support Vector Machine (SVM) and the k-nearest neighbor's algorithm (k-NN).
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
