Lung cancer remains the leading cause of cancer-related mortality worldwide.
AI models are being integrated into medical imaging for the early detection of lung cancer.
Duke Lung Cancer Screening (DLCS) Dataset, a large open-access dataset with over 2,000 scans and 3,000 expert-verified nodules, is introduced.
Benchmarking of deep learning models for nodule detection and lung cancer classification is conducted across multiple datasets, demonstrating strong generalizability.
