Application of logistic regression and convolutional neural network in prediction and diagnosis of high-risk populations of lung cancer

Abstract

ObjectivesThe early detection, early diagnosis, and early treatment of lung cancer are the best strategies to improve the 5-year survival rate. Logistic regression analysis can be a helpful tool in the early detection of high-risk groups of lung cancer. Convolutional neural network (CNN) could distinguish benign from malignant pulmonary nodules, which is critical for early precise diagnosis and treatment. Here, we developed a risk assessment model of lung cancer and a high-precision classification diagnostic model using these technologies so as to provide a basis for early screening of lung cancer and for intelligent differential diagnosis.Methods A total of 355 lung cancer patients, 444 patients with benign lung disease and 472 healthy people from The First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University were included in this study. Moreover, the dataset of 607 lung computed tomography images was collected from the above patients. The logistic regression method was employed to screen the high-risk groups of lung cancer, and the CNN model was designed to classify pulmonary nodules into benign or malignant nodules. ResultsThe area under the curve of the lung cancer risk assessment model in the training set and the testing set were 0.823 and 0.710, respectively. After finely optimizing the settings of the CNN, the area under the curve could reach 0.984. ConclusionsThis performance demonstrated that the lung cancer risk assessment model could be used to screen for high-risk individuals with lung cancer and the CNN framework was suitable for the differential diagnosis of pulmonary nodules.

“…A logistic regression model was utilized for this dataset (Yuan, et al, 2022). There were two different approaches made to train the model.…”

“…At its core, Logistic Regression models the probability of an instance belonging to the positive class using the logistic function, ensuring the output is bounded between 0 and 1. The logistic function is defined by the natural logarithm of the odds, incorporating coefficients that represent the relationship between the independent variables and the log-odds of the positive class [46].…”
