• Abstract: Lung cancer, the second leading cause of cancer-related deaths, is primarily linked to long-term tobacco smoking (85% of cases). Surprisingly, 10-15% of cases occur in non-smokers. In 2020, approximately 2 million people were affected globally, resulting in 1.5 million deaths. The survival rate, at around 20%, lags behind other cancers, partly due to late-stage symptom manifestation. Necessitates early and accurate detection for effective treatment. Performance metrics such as accuracy, precision, recall (sensitivity), and F1-score are computed to provide a comprehensive evaluation of each model's capabilities. By comparing these metrics, this study offers insights into the strengths and limitations of each approach, contributing to the advancement of lung cancer detection techniques. In this paper, we are going to discuss the methodologies of lung cancer detection using different deep learning algorithms - InceptionV3, MobileNetV2, VGG16, ResNet152 - are explored for their efficacy in classifying lung cancer cases. Our Proposed Model algorithm based is a 16 layers architecture based on CNN model. Our Proposed model exhibits several key highlights that contribute to its novelty. By integrating multiple layer types such as convolutional, pooling, flatten, dropout, fully connected and dense layers, the model leverages the strengths of each layer to enhance its predictive capabilities. Novelty of our proposed model is that its accuracy is increasing consistently with the increasing no of epochs. We have tested the model performance up to epoch no 30. Our proposed model also overcome the overfitting problem.
