Abstract

OBJECTIVE: Early diagnosis of laryngeal cancer (LC) is crucial, particularly in rural areas. Despite existing studies on deep learning models for LC identification, challenges remain in selecting suitable models for rural areas with shortages of laryngologists and limited computer resources. We present the intelligent laryngeal cancer detection system (ILCDS), a deep learning-based solution tailored for effective LC screening in resource-constrained rural areas.
