Artificial Intelligence Algorithms for the Detection of Pathologies Related to Lung Cancer through Image Analysis using Convolutional Neural Networks and Data Augmentation: a systematic mapping of the literature

The article reviews recent applications of artificial intelligence and deep learning, particularly convolutional neural networks with transfer learning and data augmentation, for detecting lung cancer in medical images. It surveys 96 studies from 2015 onward, highlighting high sensitivity and specificity achieved by these methods. The authors also identify challenges such as data standardization, model explainability, patient privacy, and ethical concerns that must be addressed before clinical deployment.

Hybrid Cross-Modal Attention Network for Early Breast Cancer Detection in Low-Resource Clinical Settings

The paper introduces a Hybrid Cross-Modal Attention Network (HCMAN) that fuses mammogram images with structured clinical data using transformer-based cross‑modal attention. Trained on a locally collected dataset of 2,560 images from 1,024 Ethiopian patients, the model achieves 97.8% accuracy, 97.2% sensitivity, 98.3% specificity, and an AUC of 0.987, outperforming image‑only baselines and maintaining robustness to low‑quality images. Its lightweight design allows inference in under two seconds on a standard CPU, making it suitable for deployment in resource‑limited clinical settings.
