Abstract

Lung cancer is the prevalent and dangerous among different types of cancerous diseases. Lung cancer is one of the several leading causes of cancer-related deaths across the globe. A traditional way to detect lung cancer was carried out by trained professionals manually, by evaluating different parameters. However, this procedure was only helpful in the detection of cancer. Early analysis and diagnosis of such a sort of cancer growth is very important to save the life of a patient. Several healthcare systems assisted by artificial intelligence have emerged in the past to offer distinguishable services. This article presents a fog–cloud computing-assisted computer-aided system for the early diagnosis and management of lung cancer diseases. An image processing-based pre-processing step has been introduced to detect different abnormalities by feature extraction from CT scanned images at the fog layer. A backpropagation-based artificial neural network (ANN) has been utilized for the classification of different extracted features. Finally, the classified results are stored in a cloud layer for communication with doctors and caretakers. Moreover, several statistical measures such as: specificity, accuracy, and sensitivity have been calculated to assess the performance of the model.
