摘要

The high mortality rate of lung cancer worldwide is largely attributed to its late-stage diagnosis. Assessing lung cancer severity promptly plays a vital role in guiding treatment decisions and enhancing patient survival rates. This study introduces an Adaptive Neuro-Fuzzy SqueezeNet (ANFSq-Net) framework for lung cancer detection and severity level classification using Computed Tomography (CT) images. The proposed method integrates the strengths of the Adaptive Neuro-Fuzzy Inference System (ANFIS) and SqueezeNet, supported by fractional calculus (FC) regression, to enhance feature adaptability, reduce computational complexity, and improve learning efficiency. To preprocess the CT images, noise is removed with a bilateral filter, followed by lung lobe segmentation through a Conditional Generative Adversarial Network (CGAN). Key features such as Local Ternary Pattern (LTP), homogeneity, and entropy are extracted for accurate classification of lung cancer into mild, moderate, and severe levels. The ANFSq-Net model achieves excellent performance metrics, including 94.876% accuracy, 96.877% sensitivity, 92.987% specificity, 93.988% precision, and a 95.411% F1-score. It is concluded that the combined application of ANFIS, SqueezeNet, and FC regression enables precise and efficient classification performance.
