Classification with respect to colon adenocarcinoma and colon benign tissue of colon histopathological images with a new <scp>CNN</scp> model: MA_ColonNET

Abstract

Abstract Colon cancer is a common type of carcinoma that occurs in the large intestine. This type of cancer affects millions of people around the world each year. Early and accurate diagnosis is very important in the treatment of colon cancer as in other types of cancer. Thanks to early and accurate diagnosis, many people can get rid of this disease with less damage. Medical imaging techniques are widely used in the early diagnosis, follow‐up, and after the treatment process of colon cancer. Therefore, manually controlling a large number of medical images and their interpretation is a difficult process and consumes more time. In addition, the interpretation of data with traditional methods in this process can cause misdiagnosis due to human errors. For this reason, computer‐aided systems can be used in the diagnosis of colon cancer in order to both help experts and carry out the process more quickly and successfully. In this study, a novel method named by us, CNN‐based, MA_ColonNET is developed for detecting colon cancer image data. A 45‐layer model in MA_ColonNET has been used to classify. A success (accuracy) rate of 99.75% has been achieved by means of the new model. It is shown that the proposed model can detect colon cancer earlier. In this way, the treatment process can be carried out more successfully.
