Fuzzy Rule based Classification of Microscopic Images of Squamous Cell Carcinoma of Esophagus
نویسنده
چکیده
In this paper, we present a novel method based on active contours for segmentation and fuzzy rule based classification of microscopic images of esophagus tissues obtained from the abnormal regions of human esophagus detected through endoscopy. This method is used for classification of Squamous Cell Carcinoma (SCC) of esophagus, namely, well differentiated (WD), moderately differentiated (MD), and poorly differentiated (PD) SCC. The multi-grid active contour method is used for cell nuclei segmentation, three geometric features are used feature extraction and a fuzzy rule based classifier is built for classification of SCC. The experimental results demonstrate the efficacy of the proposed method.

متن کاملE-cadherin Promoter Methylation Comparison and Correlation with the Pathological Features of the Squamous Cell Carcinoma of Esophagus in the High Risk Region
E-cadherin is among tumor suppressor genes which mostly subjects to the down-regulation in squamous cell carcinoma of esophagus (SCCE). The gene is tightly associated with the tumor invasion and metastasis in multiple human cancers, especially SCCE. CpG islands’ methylation in the promoter region of E-cadherin is among the mechanisms that have been suggested for the E-cadherin silencing, howeve...

Association of lichen planus and cutaneous malignancies is rare. Reports of neoplastic changes are mostly related to buccal chronic erosive lichen planus. We report herein a 29-year-old man who developed squamous cell carcinoma on previous lesions of chronic hypertrophic lichen planus of lower legs. Careful follow up of patients with chronic lichen planus and biopsy sampling of uncommon lesions...
متن کاملThe Prevalence of Human Papilloma Virus in Esopha-geal Squamous Cell Carcinoma
Background: Carcinomas of esophagus, mostly squamous cell carcinomas, occur throughout the world. There are a number of suspected genetic or environmental etiologies. Human papilloma virus (HPV) is said to be a major etiology in areas with high incidence of esophageal carcinoma, while it is hardly detectable in low incidence regions. This study was designed to evaluate the prevalence of HPV in ...
