Abstract: Early detection of lung cancer is crucial for improving patient outcomes. While Deep Learning (DL) models have shown high accuracy in lung cancer diagnosis, they often require substantial computational resources. This study proposes a novel approach that leverages Genetic Algorithm (GA) to optimize feature selection and dimensionality reduction from lung cancer images. By integrating GA with conventional Machine Learning (ML) models, we demonstrate improved classification accuracy while minimizing computational requirements. Our experimental results show that combining GA with a feed-forward neural network classifier yields exceptional performance, achieving a classification accuracy of 99.70%. This approach offers a promising alternative to DL models for lung cancer detection, particularly in resource-constrained settings.
