FCM-NPOA: A hybrid Fuzzy C-means clustering with nomadic people optimizer for ovarian cancer detection.

Abstract

Ovarian cancer is a highly prevalent cancer among women; However, it remains difficult to find effective pharmacological solutions to treat this deadly disease. However, early detection can significantly increase life expectancy. To address this issue, a predictive model for early diagnosis of ovarian cancer was developed by applying statistical techniques and machine learning models to clinical data from 349 patients. A hybrid evolutionary deep learning model was proposed by integrating genetic and histopathological imaging modalities within a multimodal fusion framework. Machine learning pipelines have been built using feature selection and dilution approaches to identify the most relevant genes for disease classification. A comparison was performed between the UNeT and transformer models for semantic segmentation, leading to the development of an optimized fuzzy C-means clustering algorithm (FCM-NPOA-PM-UI) for the classification of gynecological abdominopelvic tumors. Performing better than individual classifiers and other machine learning methods, the suggested ensemble model achieved an average accuracy of 98.96%, precision of 97.44%, and F1 score of 98.7%. With average Dice scores of 0.98 and 0.97 for positive tumors and 0.99 and 0.98 for malignant tumors, the Transformer model performed better in segmentation than the UNeT model. Additionally, we observed a 92.8% increase in accuracy when combining five machine learning models with biomarker data: random forest, logistic regression, SVM, decision tree, and CNN. These results demonstrate that the hybrid model significantly improves the accuracy and efficiency of ovarian cancer detection and classification, offering superior performance compared to traditional methods and individual classifiers.
