Histopathologic Oral Cancer Prediction Using Oral Squamous Cell Carcinoma Biopsy Empowered with Transfer Learning

Evaluation of transfer ensemble learning-based convolutional neural network models for the identification of chronic gingivitis from oral photographs

BACKGROUND

To evaluate the performances of several advanced deep convolutional neural network models (AlexNet, VGG, GoogLeNet, ResNet) based on ensemble learning for recognizing chronic gingivitis from screening oral images.

METHODS

A total of 683 intraoral clinical images acquired from 134 volunteers were used to construct the database and evaluate the models. Four deep ConvNet models were developed using ensemble learning and outperformed a single model. The performances of the different models were evaluated by comparing the accuracy and sensitivity for recognizing the existence of gingivitis from intraoral images.

RESULTS

The ResNet model achieved an area under the curve (AUC) value of 97%, while the AUC values for the GoogLeNet, AlexNet, and VGG models were 94%, 92%, and 89%, respectively. Although the ResNet and GoogLeNet models performed best in classifying gingivitis from images, the sensitivity outcomes were not significantly different among the ResNet, GoogLeNet, and Alexnet models (p>0.05). However, the sensitivity of the VGGNet model differed significantly from those of the other models (p < 0.001).

CONCLUSION

The ResNet and GoogLeNet models show promise for identifying chronic gingivitis from images. These models can help doctors diagnose periodontal diseases efficiently or based on self-examination of the oral cavity by patients.

Histopathology-based breast cancer prediction using deep learning methods for healthcare applications

Breast cancer (BC) is the leading cause of female cancer mortality and is a type of cancer that is a major threat to women's health. Deep learning methods have been used extensively in many medical domains recently, especially in detection and classification applications. Studying histological images for the automatic diagnosis of BC is important for patients and their prognosis. Owing to the complication and variety of histology images, manual examination can be difficult and susceptible to errors and thus needs the services of experienced pathologists. Therefore, publicly accessible datasets called BreakHis and invasive ductal carcinoma (IDC) are used in this study to analyze histopathological images of BC. Next, using super-resolution generative adversarial networks (SRGANs), which create high-resolution images from low-quality images, the gathered images from BreakHis and IDC are pre-processed to provide useful results in the prediction stage. The components of conventional generative adversarial network (GAN) loss functions and effective sub-pixel nets were combined to create the concept of SRGAN. Next, the high-quality images are sent to the data augmentation stage, where new data points are created by making small adjustments to the dataset using rotation, random cropping, mirroring, and color-shifting. Next, patch-based feature extraction using Inception V3 and Resnet-50 (PFE-INC-RES) is employed to extract the features from the augmentation. After the features have been extracted, the next step involves processing them and applying transductive long short-term memory (TLSTM) to improve classification accuracy by decreasing the number of false positives. The results of suggested PFE-INC-RES is evaluated using existing methods on the BreakHis dataset, with respect to accuracy (99.84%), specificity (99.71%), sensitivity (99.78%), and F1-score (99.80%), while the suggested PFE-INC-RES performed better in the IDC dataset based on F1-score (99.08%), accuracy (99.79%), specificity (98.97%), and sensitivity (99.17%).

OralEpitheliumDB: A Dataset for Oral Epithelial Dysplasia Image Segmentation and Classification

Early diagnosis of potentially malignant disorders, such as oral epithelial dysplasia, is the most reliable way to prevent oral cancer. Computational algorithms have been used as an auxiliary tool to aid specialists in this process. Usually, experiments are performed on private data, making it difficult to reproduce the results. There are several public datasets of histological images, but studies focused on oral dysplasia images use inaccessible datasets. This prevents the improvement of algorithms aimed at this lesion. This study introduces an annotated public dataset of oral epithelial dysplasia tissue images. The dataset includes 456 images acquired from 30 mouse tongues. The images were categorized among the lesion grades, with nuclear structures manually marked by a trained specialist and validated by a pathologist. Also, experiments were carried out in order to illustrate the potential of the proposed dataset in classification and segmentation processes commonly explored in the literature. Convolutional neural network (CNN) models for semantic and instance segmentation were employed on the images, which were pre-processed with stain normalization methods. Then, the segmented and non-segmented images were classified with CNN architectures and machine learning algorithms. The data obtained through these processes is available in the dataset. The segmentation stage showed the F1-score value of 0.83, obtained with the U-Net model using the ResNet-50 as a backbone. At the classification stage, the most expressive result was achieved with the Random Forest method, with an accuracy value of 94.22%. The results show that the segmentation contributed to the classification results, but studies are needed for the improvement of these stages of automated diagnosis. The original, gold standard, normalized, and segmented images are publicly available and may be used for the improvement of clinical applications of CAD methods on oral epithelial dysplasia tissue images.

A Deep Learning Framework with an Intermediate Layer Using the Swarm Intelligence Optimizer for Diagnosing Oral Squamous Cell Carcinoma

One of the most prevalent cancers is oral squamous cell carcinoma, and preventing mortality from this disease primarily depends on early detection. Clinicians will greatly benefit from automated diagnostic techniques that analyze a patient's histopathology images to identify abnormal oral lesions. A deep learning framework was designed with an intermediate layer between feature extraction layers and classification layers for classifying the histopathological images into two categories, namely, normal and oral squamous cell carcinoma. The intermediate layer is constructed using the proposed swarm intelligence technique called the Modified Gorilla Troops Optimizer. While there are many optimization algorithms used in the literature for feature selection, weight updating, and optimal parameter identification in deep learning models, this work focuses on using optimization algorithms as an intermediate layer to convert extracted features into features that are better suited for classification. Three datasets comprising 2784 normal and 3632 oral squamous cell carcinoma subjects are considered in this work. Three popular CNN architectures, namely, InceptionV2, MobileNetV3, and EfficientNetB3, are investigated as feature extraction layers. Two fully connected Neural Network layers, batch normalization, and dropout are used as classification layers. With the best accuracy of 0.89 among the examined feature extraction models, MobileNetV3 exhibits good performance. This accuracy is increased to 0.95 when the suggested Modified Gorilla Troops Optimizer is used as an intermediary layer.

Benign and Malignant Oral Lesion Image Classification Using Fine-Tuned Transfer Learning Techniques

Oral lesions are a prevalent manifestation of oral disease, and the timely identification of oral lesions is imperative for effective intervention. Fortunately, deep learning algorithms have shown great potential for automated lesion detection. The primary aim of this study was to employ deep learning-based image classification algorithms to identify oral lesions. We used three deep learning models, namely VGG19, DeIT, and MobileNet, to assess the efficacy of various categorization methods. To evaluate the accuracy and reliability of the models, we employed a dataset consisting of oral pictures encompassing two distinct categories: benign and malignant lesions.

The results of this study indicate that deep learning algorithms for picture classification demonstrate a high level of effectiveness in detecting oral lesions by achieving 100% for VGG19 and MobileNet and 98.73% for DeIT. Specifically, the VGG19 and MobileNet models exhibit notable suitability for this particular task.

Multi-Method Analysis of Histopathological Image for Early Diagnosis of Oral Squamous Cell Carcinoma Using Deep Learning and Hybrid Techniques

Oral cancer is a fatal disease and ranks seventh among the most common cancers throughout the whole globe. Oral cancer is a type of cancer that usually affects the head and neck. The current gold standard for diagnosis is histopathological investigation, however, the conventional approach is time-consuming and requires professional interpretation. Therefore, early diagnosis of Oral Squamous Cell Carcinoma (OSCC) is crucial for successful therapy, reducing the risk of mortality and morbidity, while improving the patient's chances of survival. Thus, we employed several artificial intelligence techniques to aid clinicians or physicians, thereby significantly reducing the workload of pathologists. This study aimed to develop hybrid methodologies based on fused features to generate better results for early diagnosis of OSCC. This study employed three different strategies, each using five distinct models. The first strategy is transfer learning using the Xception, Inceptionv3, InceptionResNetV2, NASNetLarge, and DenseNet201 models. The second strategy involves using a pre-trained art of CNN for feature extraction coupled with a Support Vector Machine (SVM) for classification. In particular, features were extracted using various pre-trained models, namely Xception, Inceptionv3, InceptionResNetV2, NASNetLarge, and DenseNet201, and were subsequently applied to the SVM algorithm to evaluate the classification accuracy. The final strategy employs a cutting-edge hybrid feature fusion technique, utilizing an art-of-CNN model to extract the deep features of the aforementioned models. These deep features underwent dimensionality reduction through principal component analysis (PCA). Subsequently, low-dimensionality features are combined with shape, color, and texture features extracted using a gray-level co-occurrence matrix (GLCM), Histogram of Oriented Gradient (HOG), and Local Binary Pattern (LBP) methods. Hybrid feature fusion was incorporated into the SVM to enhance the classification performance. The proposed system achieved promising results for rapid diagnosis of OSCC using histological images. The accuracy, precision, sensitivity, specificity, F-1 score, and area under the curve (AUC) of the support vector machine (SVM) algorithm based on the hybrid feature fusion of DenseNet201 with GLCM, HOG, and LBP features were 97.00%, 96.77%, 90.90%, 98.92%, 93.74%, and 96.80%, respectively.

Artificial Intelligence for Image Analysis in Oral Squamous Cell Carcinoma: A Review

Head and neck tumor differential diagnosis and prognosis have always been a challenge for oral pathologists due to their similarities and complexity. Artificial intelligence novel applications can function as an auxiliary tool for the objective interpretation of histomorphological digital slides. In this review, we present digital histopathological image analysis applications in oral squamous cell carcinoma. A literature search was performed in PubMed MEDLINE with the following keywords: "artificial intelligence" OR "deep learning" OR "machine learning" AND "oral squamous cell carcinoma". Artificial intelligence has proven to be a helpful tool in histopathological image analysis of tumors and other lesions, even though it is necessary to continue researching in this area, mainly for clinical validation.

Effectiveness of deep learning classifiers in histopathological diagnosis of oral squamous cell carcinoma by pathologists

The study aims to identify histological classifiers from histopathological images of oral squamous cell carcinoma using convolutional neural network (CNN) deep learning models and shows how the results can improve diagnosis. Histopathological samples of oral squamous cell carcinoma were prepared by oral pathologists. Images were divided into tiles on a virtual slide, and labels (squamous cell carcinoma, normal, and others) were applied. VGG16 and ResNet50 with the optimizers stochastic gradient descent with momentum and spectral angle mapper (SAM) were used, with and without a learning rate scheduler. The conditions for achieving good CNN performances were identified by examining performance metrics. We used ROCAUC to statistically evaluate diagnostic performance improvement of six oral pathologists using the results from the selected CNN model for assisted diagnosis. VGG16 with SAM showed the best performance, with accuracy = 0.8622 and AUC = 0.9602. The diagnostic performances of the oral pathologists statistically significantly improved when the diagnostic results of the deep learning model were used as supplementary diagnoses (p-value = 0.031). By considering the learning results of deep learning model classifiers, the diagnostic accuracy of pathologists can be improved. This study contributes to the application of highly reliable deep learning models for oral pathological diagnosis.

OralNet: Fused Optimal Deep Features Framework for Oral Squamous Cell Carcinoma Detection

Humankind is witnessing a gradual increase in cancer incidence, emphasizing the importance of early diagnosis and treatment, and follow-up clinical protocols. Oral or mouth cancer, categorized under head and neck cancers, requires effective screening for timely detection. This study proposes a framework, OralNet, for oral cancer detection using histopathology images. The research encompasses four stages: (i) Image collection and preprocessing, gathering and preparing histopathology images for analysis; (ii) feature extraction using deep and handcrafted scheme, extracting relevant features from images using deep learning techniques and traditional methods; (iii) feature reduction artificial hummingbird algorithm (AHA) and concatenation: Reducing feature dimensionality using AHA and concatenating them serially and (iv) binary classification and performance validation with three-fold cross-validation: Classifying images as healthy or oral squamous cell carcinoma and evaluating the framework's performance using three-fold cross-validation. The current study examined whole slide biopsy images at 100× and 400× magnifications. To establish OralNet's validity, 3000 cropped and resized images were reviewed, comprising 1500 healthy and 1500 oral squamous cell carcinoma images. Experimental results using OralNet achieved an oral cancer detection accuracy exceeding 99.5%. These findings confirm the clinical significance of the proposed technique in detecting oral cancer presence in histology slides.

A Novel Hybrid Approach for Classifying Osteosarcoma Using Deep Feature Extraction and Multilayer Perceptron

Osteosarcoma is the most common type of bone cancer that tends to occur in teenagers and young adults. Due to crowded context, inter-class similarity, inter-class variation, and noise in H&E-stained (hematoxylin and eosin stain) histology tissue, pathologists frequently face difficulty in osteosarcoma tumor classification. In this paper, we introduced a hybrid framework for improving the efficiency of three types of osteosarcoma tumor (nontumor, necrosis, and viable tumor) classification by merging different types of CNN-based architectures with a multilayer perceptron (MLP) algorithm on the WSI (whole slide images) dataset. We performed various kinds of preprocessing on the WSI images. Then, five pre-trained CNN models were trained with multiple parameter settings to extract insightful features via transfer learning, where convolution combined with pooling was utilized as a feature extractor. For feature selection, a decision tree-based RFE was designed to recursively eliminate less significant features to improve the model generalization performance for accurate prediction. Here, a decision tree was used as an estimator to select the different features. Finally, a modified MLP classifier was employed to classify binary and multiclass types of osteosarcoma under the five-fold CV to assess the robustness of our proposed hybrid model. Moreover, the feature selection criteria were analyzed to select the optimal one based on their execution time and accuracy. The proposed model achieved an accuracy of 95.2% for multiclass classification and 99.4% for binary classification. Experimental findings indicate that our proposed model significantly outperforms existing methods; therefore, this model could be applicable to support doctors in osteosarcoma diagnosis in clinics. In addition, our proposed model is integrated into a web application using the FastAPI web framework to provide a real-time prediction.

Hematologic Cancer Detection Using White Blood Cancerous Cells Empowered with Transfer Learning and Image Processing

Lymphoma and leukemia are fatal syndromes of cancer that cause other diseases and affect all types of age groups including male and female, and disastrous and fatal blood cancer causes an increased savvier death ratio. Both lymphoma and leukemia are associated with the damage and rise of immature lymphocytes, monocytes, neutrophils, and eosinophil cells. So, in the health sector, the early prediction and treatment of blood cancer is a major issue for survival rates. Nowadays, there are various manual techniques to analyze and predict blood cancer using the microscopic medical reports of white blood cell images, which is very steady for prediction and causes a major ratio of deaths. Manual prediction and analysis of eosinophils, lymphocytes, monocytes, and neutrophils are very difficult and time-consuming. In previous studies, they used numerous deep learning and machine learning techniques to predict blood cancer, but there are still some limitations in these studies. So, in this article, we propose a model of deep learning empowered with transfer learning and indulge in image processing techniques to improve the prediction results. The proposed transfer learning model empowered with image processing incorporates different levels of prediction, analysis, and learning procedures and employs different learning criteria like learning rate and epochs. The proposed model used numerous transfer learning models with varying parameters for each model and cloud techniques to choose the best prediction model, and the proposed model used an extensive set of performance techniques and procedures to predict the white blood cells which cause cancer to incorporate image processing techniques. So, after extensive procedures of AlexNet, MobileNet, and ResNet with both image processing and without image processing techniques with numerous learning criteria, the stochastic gradient descent momentum incorporated with AlexNet is outperformed with the highest prediction accuracy of 97.3% and the misclassification rate is 2.7% with image processing technique. The proposed model gives good results and can be applied for smart diagnosing of blood cancer using eosinophils, lymphocytes, monocytes, and neutrophils.

Systematic exo-endo encapsulation of hydroxyurea (HU) by Cu, Ag, and Au-doped gallium nitride nanotubes (GaNNT) for smart therapeutic delivery

Similar to the more well-known carbon nanotubes, gallium nitride nanotubes (GaNNT) are among the materials that scientists have found to be extremely helpful in transporting drugs and to provide significant potential for multi-modal medical therapies. Here, the potential of Cu, Ag, and Au-doped GaNNT for smart delivery of the anticancer medication hydroxyurea (HU) was extensively investigated employing quantum chemical analysis and density functional theory (DFT) computation at the B3LYP-GD3BJ/def2-SVP level of theory. The systematic approach used in this study entails examining the exo (outside)-and endo (inside) loading of HU utilizing the investigated nanotubes in order to understand the adsorption, sensing processes, bonding types, and thermodynamic properties. Results of the HOMO-LUMO studies show that metal-doped GaNNTs with the hydroxyurea (HU) at the endo - interaction of the drug of the nanotube produced more reduced energy gaps (0.911-2.039 eV) compared with metal-doped GaNNTs complexes at the outside - interaction of the drug on the nanotube (2.25-3.22 eV) and as such reveal their suitability for use as drug delivery materials. As observed in the endo-interaction of HU adsorptions in the tubes, HU_endo_Au@GaNNT possessed the highest adsorption energy values of -118.716 kcal/mol which shows the most chemisorption between the surfaces and the adsorbate while for HU_exo_Ag@GaNNT is -97.431 kcal/mol for the highest exo-interactions. These results suggest that HU drug interacted inside the Ag, Au, and Cu doped GaNNT will be very proficient as a carrier of the HU drug into bio systems. These results are along with visual studies of weak interactions, thermodynamics, sensor, and drug release mechanisms suggest strongly the endo-encapsulation of HU as the best mode for smart drug delivery.

Artificial-Intelligence-Based Decision Making for Oral Potentially Malignant Disorder Diagnosis in Internet of Medical Things Environment

Oral cancer is considered one of the most common cancer types in several counties. Earlier-stage identification is essential for better prognosis, treatment, and survival. To enhance precision medicine, Internet of Medical Things (IoMT) and deep learning (DL) models can be developed for automated oral cancer classification to improve detection rate and decrease cancer-specific mortality.

In this study, the feature extraction and classification process are performed using the IDCNN model, which integrates the Inception module with DCNN. To enhance the classification performance of the IDCNN model, the moth flame optimization (MFO) technique can be employed. The experimental results of the OIDCNN-OPMDD technique are investigated, and the results are inspected under specific measures. The experimental outcome pointed out the enhanced performance of the OIDCNN-OPMDD model over other DL models.

Pixel-level multimodal fusion deep networks for predicting subcellular organelle localization from label-free live-cell imaging

Complex intracellular organizations are commonly represented by dividing the metabolic process of cells into different organelles. Therefore, identifying sub-cellular organelle architecture is significant for understanding intracellular structural properties, specific functions, and biological processes in cells. However, the discrimination of these structures in the natural organizational environment and their functional consequences are not clear. In this article, we propose a new pixel-level multimodal fusion (PLMF) deep network which can be used to predict the location of cellular organelle using label-free cell optical microscopy images followed by deep-learning-based automated image denoising. It provides valuable insights that can be of tremendous help in improving the specificity of label-free cell optical microscopy by using the Transformer-Unet network to predict the ground truth imaging which corresponds to different sub-cellular organelle architectures. The new prediction method proposed in this article combines the advantages of a transformer's global prediction and CNN's local detail analytic ability of background features for label-free cell optical microscopy images, so as to improve the prediction accuracy. Our experimental results showed that the PLMF network can achieve over 0.91 Pearson's correlation coefficient (PCC) correlation between estimated and true fractions on lung cancer cell-imaging datasets. In addition, we applied the PLMF network method on the cell images for label-free prediction of several different subcellular components simultaneously, rather than using several fluorescent labels. These results open up a new way for the time-resolved study of subcellular components in different cells, especially for cancer cells.

Early Diagnosis of Oral Squamous Cell Carcinoma Based on Histopathological Images Using Deep and Hybrid Learning Approaches

Oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) is one of the most common head and neck cancer types, which is ranked the seventh most common cancer. As OSCC is a histological tumor, histopathological images are the gold diagnosis standard. However, such diagnosis takes a long time and high-efficiency human experience due to tumor heterogeneity. Thus, artificial intelligence techniques help doctors and experts to make an accurate diagnosis. This study aimed to achieve satisfactory results for the early diagnosis of OSCC by applying hybrid techniques based on fused features. The first proposed method is based on a hybrid method of CNN models (AlexNet and ResNet-18) and the support vector machine (SVM) algorithm. This method achieved superior results in diagnosing the OSCC data set. The second proposed method is based on the hybrid features extracted by CNN models (AlexNet and ResNet-18) combined with the color, texture, and shape features extracted using the fuzzy color histogram (FCH), discrete wavelet transform (DWT), local binary pattern (LBP), and gray-level co-occurrence matrix (GLCM) algorithms. Because of the high dimensionality of the data set features, the principal component analysis (PCA) algorithm was applied to reduce the dimensionality and send it to the artificial neural network (ANN) algorithm to diagnose it with promising accuracy. All the proposed systems achieved superior results in histological image diagnosis of OSCC, the ANN network based on the hybrid features using AlexNet, DWT, LBP, FCH, and GLCM achieved an accuracy of 99.1%, specificity of 99.61%, sensitivity of 99.5%, precision of 99.71%, and AUC of 99.52%.

IoMT-Based Osteosarcoma Cancer Detection in Histopathology Images Using Transfer Learning Empowered with Blockchain, Fog Computing, and Edge Computing

Bone tumors, such as osteosarcomas, can occur anywhere in the bones, though they usually occur in the extremities of long bones near metaphyseal growth plates. Osteosarcoma is a malignant lesion caused by a malignant osteoid growing from primitive mesenchymal cells. In most cases, osteosarcoma develops as a solitary lesion within the most rapidly growing areas of the long bones in children. The distal femur, proximal tibia, and proximal humerus are the most frequently affected bones, but virtually any bone can be affected. Early detection can reduce mortality rates. Osteosarcoma's manual detection requires expertise, and it can be tedious. With the assistance of modern technology, medical images can now be analyzed and classified automatically, which enables faster and more efficient data processing. A deep learning-based automatic detection system based on whole slide images (WSIs) is presented in this paper to detect osteosarcoma automatically. Experiments conducted on a large dataset of WSIs yielded up to 99.3% accuracy. This model ensures the privacy and integrity of patient information with the implementation of blockchain technology. Utilizing edge computing and fog computing technologies, the model reduces the load on centralized servers and improves efficiency.

IoMT-Based Mitochondrial and Multifactorial Genetic Inheritance Disorder Prediction Using Machine Learning

A genetic disorder is a serious disease that affects a large number of individuals around the world. There are various types of genetic illnesses, however, we focus on mitochondrial and multifactorial genetic disorders for prediction. Genetic illness is caused by a number of factors, including a defective maternal or paternal gene, excessive abortions, a lack of blood cells, and low white blood cell count. For premature or teenage life development, early detection of genetic diseases is crucial. Although it is difficult to forecast genetic disorders ahead of time, this prediction is very critical since a person's life progress depends on it. Machine learning algorithms are used to diagnose genetic disorders with high accuracy utilizing datasets collected and constructed from a large number of patient medical reports. A lot of studies have been conducted recently employing genome sequencing for illness detection, but fewer studies have been presented using patient medical history. The accuracy of existing studies that use a patient's history is restricted. The internet of medical things (IoMT) based proposed model for genetic disease prediction in this article uses two separate machine learning algorithms: support vector machine (SVM) and K-Nearest Neighbor (KNN). Experimental results show that SVM has outperformed the KNN and existing prediction methods in terms of accuracy. SVM achieved an accuracy of 94.99% and 86.6% for training and testing, respectively.
