Abstract
Early and accurate diagnosis of lung cancer is crucial to improving patient outcomes and survival rates. Machine and deep learning models have emerged as promising tools to improve the accuracy and efficiency of disease diagnosis. However, achieving optimal diagnostic performance remains a challenging task in medical research. This study integrates ensemble learning techniques with an adaptive optimization algorithm to enhance the accuracy of lung cancer diagnosis. By combining the predictive potential of multiple base classifiers, the ensemble-learning model improves overall performance and mitigates the weaknesses of individual classifiers. Additionally, the adaptive optimization algorithm dynamically adjusts the model parameters to optimize the classification performance. The effectiveness of the approach was evaluated using a comprehensive dataset that includes lung cancer images. Rigorous evaluation and comparison with state-of-the-art models showed that the proposed method achieved superior diagnostic performance, reaching an overall accuracy of 99%.
