Deep Neural Network Techniques for Lung Cancer Prognosis and Diagnosis

Cancer is one of the complicated disease and a leading cause of death [1], accounting for about 10 million deaths in 2021 [2,3]. Lung cancer has the highest mortality rate among the group of cancers with an average death rate of about 1.80 million annually [3]. Lung cancer treatment is time consuming and costly. As such, if the symptoms of the disease appear late, it may impact the prognosis in a negative manner, resulting in non-curable status [3]
