Upper Aero Digestive Tract Cancer: A Detailed Exploration Using Computer Vision Techniques

Abstract

Biopsy is adopted as one of the most important procedure to diagnose the cancer. Detecting cancerous lesions at early stage and grading of malignancies present in upper aero digestive tract is a challenging task among histologists. Microscopic analysis provides a major role in finding the movements and invasions of the malignant tumour cells. A detailed study is carried out to understand the entire destination of the oral and nasal cavity cancer which is done by histology investigations. The paper provides a pathway to understand the attributes of anaplastic cells in the presence of retrospective microscopic images. The goal is to figure out the uniqueness and characteristics of UADT (Upper Aero Digestive Tract) cancer and to discuss about different computer vision techniques which can be applied to detect and classify various types and stages of tumor by analysing biopsy images.
