Abstract

Cancers are the leading cause of death in many developed countries. Early diagnosis plays a crucial role in having proper treatment for this debilitating disease. The automated classification of the type of cancer is a challenging task since pathologists must examine a huge number of histopathological images to detect infinitesimal abnormalities. In this study, we propose a novel convolutional neural network (CNN) architecture composed of a Concatenation of multiple Networks, called C-Net, to classify biomedical images. In contrast to conventional deep learning models in biomedical image classification, which utilize transfer learning to solve the problem, no prior knowledge is employed. The model incorporates multiple CNNs including Outer, Middle, and Inner. The first two parts of the architecture contain six networks that serve as feature extractors to feed into the Inner network to classify the images in terms of malignancy and benignancy. The C-Net is applied for histopathological image classification on two public datasets, including BreakHis and Osteosarcoma. To evaluate the performance, the model is tested using several evaluation metrics for its reliability. The C-Net model outperforms all other models on the individual metrics for both datasets and achieves zero misclassification.
