Abstract

BACKGROUND: Oral cancer is a deadly disease among the most common malignant tumors worldwide, and it has become an increasingly important public health problem in developing and low-to-middle income countries. This study aims to use the convolutional neural network (CNN) deep learning algorithms to develop an automated classification and detection model for oral cancer screening.
