Abstract
This research presents an innovative approach to cancer diagnosis and
prediction using explainable Artificial Intelligence (XAI) and deep learning
techniques. With cancer causing nearly 10 million deaths globally in 2020,
early and accurate diagnosis is crucial. Traditional methods often face
challenges in cost, accuracy, and efficiency. Our study develops an AI model
that provides precise outcomes and clear insights into its decision-making
process, addressing the "black box" problem of deep learning models. By
employing XAI techniques, we enhance interpretability and transparency,
building trust among healthcare professionals and patients. Our approach
leverages neural networks to analyse extensive datasets, identifying patterns
for cancer detection. This model has the potential to revolutionise diagnosis
by improving accuracy, accessibility, and clarity in medical decision-making,
possibly leading to earlier detection and more personalised treatment
strategies. Furthermore, it could democratise access to high-quality
diagnostics, particularly in resource-limited settings, contributing to global
health equity. The model's applications extend beyond cancer diagnosis,
potentially transforming various aspects of medical decision-making and saving
millions of lives worldwide.
