 INTRODUCTON

ORAL CANCER DETECTION:

Oral cancer is cancer that develops in the tissues of the mouth or throat. It
belongs to a larger group of cancers called head and neck cancers. Most
develop in the squamous cells found in your mouth, tongue, and lips. Oral
cancer is a major health problem worldwide accounting for 177,384 deaths
in 2018 and is most prevalent in low- and middle-income countries.
Enabling automation in the identification of oral cancer can lead to the
prevention and early diagnostic of disease. Therefore, regular oral check-
ups are very important. The focus of transfer learning is to enhance the
performance of target learners on target domains by inheriting knowledge
from various conceptually related source domain. This project implies a
novel approach for the early diagnosis and detection of one of the leading
diseases, cancer in most sensory body organ i.e., mouth.This arises in any of
tissues in mouth. There are several types of oral cancers, but around 90%
are squamous cell carcinoma originating in the tissues that line the mouth
and lips. Oral or mouth cancer most commonly involves on the floor of the
mouth cheeks, gums, lips, or palate roof of the mouth.
PROPOSED SYSTEM :
Proposed methodology include enhancement of images we used salt and
pepper noise, segmentation of cells are used for thresholding but that we
can find the accurate results and find very easily of tumor by partition ,
features extraction, and finally the classification with the Back
propagation.
Image classification with Convolutional Neural Network was used to
analyze computer vision-based techniques for the automated detection of
oral lesions for the early detection of oral cancer.
We train data sets using different kind of algorithm based on that level of
accuracy we obtain respective algorithm is used.

 Application :

• Bio medical Imaging: Biomedical imaging is a powerful tool for visualizing the
internal organs of the body and its diseases. Today’s imaging tools provide
unprecedented views of biological processes. Biomedical imaging allows in vivo
imaging of biological processes, including changes in receptor kinetics,
molecular and cellular signaling, and interactions and the movement of
molecules through membranes. Being mostly noninvasive, biomedical imaging
offers precise tracking of metabolites that can be used as biomarkers for disease
identification, progress, and treatment response.

• Medical Test of testability : Test results may help make a diagnosis in

symptomatic patients (diagnostic testing) or identify occult disease in
asymptomatic patients (screening). If the tests were appropriately ordered on
the basis of the clinical presentation, any results should assist in ruling in or out
possible diagnoses. Test results may interfere with the clinical decision process
if the test poorly discriminates between patients with and without the suspected
disease(s) or if the test result is improperly integrated into the clinical context.

• Laboratory test : A medical procedure that involves testing a sample of blood,

urine, or other substance from the body. Laboratory tests can help determine a
diagnosis, plan treatment, check to see if treatment is working, or monitor the
disease over time.

 WORK IMPLEMENTATION IN PHASES

Phase 1:

• Getting ideas to perform classification of oral lesions using deep learning.

Phase 2:

• Installing required libraries and modules.

• Requirement of hardware and software.
Phase 3:

• Then we do classification we can predict weather cancer is present or not.

Phase 4 :

• Then we do the coding part.

• Checking for errors and doing the correction.
• Final evaluation of the project will be done.

 Future scope

In future work, it will be possible to gather more images for enriching the dataset and

to improve the accuracy of the models using different techniques fine tunning and

augmentation . The main goal will be implementing a semantic segmentation for

selecting lesion region from an input images to improve accuracy results of the models.
