摘要

While considering the global health issue, early diagnosis of lung cancer has become a potential demand of any health-conscious system. Although the computer-aided diagnosis (CAD) system contributes a vital role in cancer-related disease they often fail to classify the different types of lung cancer due to computational complexity and high error rate. In this article, we have proposed a novel approach to classify lung cancer using transfer learning techniques and transformer-based models. The present work undertakes three major tasks: pre-processing, feature extractions, and classifications. Here, feature extraction is performed by transfer learning techniques using the VGG19 model, whereas the classification is performed with the help of the Vision Transformer (ViT) model. The combined approach of transfer learning and transformer-based model has been proven to classify lung cancer with the best accuracy of 99.80 and 99.06% over two datasets, LC25000 and IQ-OTH/NCCD, respectively.
