Abstract

Background: The global healthcare system faces challenges in diagnosing and managing lung and colon cancers, which are significant health burdens. Traditional diagnostic methods are inefficient and prone to errors, while data privacy and security concerns persist.

Objective: This study aims to develop a secure and transparent framework for remote consultation and classification of lung and colon cancer, leveraging blockchain technology and Microsoft Azure cloud services. Dataset and Features: The framework utilizes the LC25000 dataset, containing 25,000 histopathological images, for training and evaluating advanced machine learning models. Key features include secure data upload, anonymization, encryption, and controlled access via blockchain and Azure services.

Methods: The proposed framework integrates Microsoft Azure's cloud services with a permissioned blockchain network. Patients upload CT scans through a mobile app, which are then preprocessed, anonymized, and stored securely in Azure Blob Storage. Blockchain smart contracts manage data access, ensuring only authorized specialists can retrieve and analyze the scans. Azure Machine Learning is used to train and deploy state-of-the-art machine learning models for cancer classification. Evaluation Metrics: The framework's performance is evaluated using metrics such as accuracy, precision, recall, and F1-score, demonstrating the effectiveness of the integrated approach in enhancing diagnostic accuracy and data security.

Results: The proposed framework achieves an impressive accuracy of 100% for lung and colon cancer classification using DenseNet, ResNet50, and MobileNet models with different split ratios (70-30, 80-20, 90-10). The F1-score and k-fold cross-validation accuracy (5-fold and 10-fold) also demonstrate exceptional performance, with values exceeding 99.9%. Real-time notifications and secure remote consultations enhance the efficiency and transparency of the diagnostic process, contributing to better patient outcomes and streamlined cancer care management.

利用区块链和 Microsoft Azure 实现安全透明的肺癌和结肠癌分类。
背景:肺癌和结肠癌是严重的健康负担,全球医疗系统在诊断和管理这两种癌症方面面临挑战。传统的诊断方法效率低下且容易出错,同时数据隐私和安全问题也一直存在:本研究旨在利用区块链技术和微软 Azure 云服务,为肺癌和结肠癌的远程会诊和分类开发一个安全透明的框架。数据集和特征:该框架利用包含 25,000 张组织病理学图像的 LC25000 数据集来训练和评估高级机器学习模型。主要功能包括安全数据上传、匿名化、加密以及通过区块链和Azure服务进行受控访问:拟议的框架将微软Azure云服务与许可区块链网络整合在一起。患者通过移动应用程序上传CT扫描数据,然后对数据进行预处理、匿名化,并安全地存储在Azure Blob Storage中。区块链智能合约管理数据访问,确保只有经过授权的专家才能检索和分析扫描结果。Azure 机器学习用于训练和部署最先进的癌症分类机器学习模型。评估指标:使用准确率、精确度、召回率和 F1 分数等指标对该框架的性能进行评估,以证明该集成方法在提高诊断准确性和数据安全性方面的有效性:使用 DenseNet、ResNet50 和 MobileNet 模型以及不同的分割比例(70-30、80-20、90-10),所提出的框架在肺癌和结肠癌分类方面达到了令人印象深刻的 100% 准确率。F1 分数和 k 倍交叉验证准确率(5 倍和 10 倍)也表现出卓越的性能,数值超过 99.9%。实时通知和安全远程会诊提高了诊断过程的效率和透明度,有助于改善患者预后和简化癌症护理管理。
