Colorectal Histology Tumor Detection Using Ensemble Deep Neural Network

Abstract With a mortality rate of approximately 33.33%, Colorectal cancer serves as the second most prevalent malignant tumor type in the world. AI-guided clinical care/tool can help in reducing health disparities, specifically in resource-constrained regions. In this paper, using multi-class tissue features, we proposed an Ensemble Deep Neural Network to Tumor in Colorectal Histology images. On two different publicly available datasets: NCT-CRC-HE-100K (107,180 images) and Colorectal Histology (5000 images), we achieved accuracies of 96.16% and 92.83%, respectively. When datasets are combined, it provided a benchmark accuracy of 99.13%. We efficiently used resourced data, thereby achieving results that outperformed the state-of-the-art works.
