Machine learning-based lung and colon cancer detection using deep feature extraction and ensemble learning

Cancer is a fatal disease caused by a combination of genetic diseases and a variety of biochemical abnormalities. Lung and colon cancer have emerged as two of the leading causes of death and disability in humans. The histopathological detection of such malignancies is usually the most important component in determining the best course of action. Early detection of the ailment on either front considerably decreases the likelihood of mortality. Machine learning and deep learning techniques can be utilized to speed up such cancer detection, allowing researchers to study a large number of patients in a much shorter amount of time and at a lower cost. In this research work, we introduced a hybrid ensemble feature extraction model to efficiently identify…
