Early detection of colorectal cancer through the proper segmentation of polyps in the colonoscopy images is crucial. Polyps' complex morphology and varied appearances are the greatest obstacles for the segmentation approaches. The paper introduces SAMU-Net, a novel deep learning-based dual-stage architecture consisting of a custom attention-based U-Net and modified Segment Anything Model (SAM) for better polyp segmentation. In our model, we used the custom U-Net architecture with an attention mechanism to obtain polyp segmentation masks as the first stage. This mask is then used to generate a bounding box input for the second stage that contains the modified Segment Anything Model. The modified SAM relies on the use of High-Quality token-based architecture along with global and local properties to segment polyps accurately, even in cases where the shapes and sizes of polyps are diverse and the polyps have different appearances. The efficiency of SAMU-Net generated from four different datasets of colonoscopy images was examined. Our process produced a dice coefficient score of 0.94, which is very impressive and has a considerable improvement over the existing state-of-the-art polyp segmentation methods. Moreover, the qualitative results also visualize that the SAMU-Net is capable of accurately segmenting polyps of wide ranges, thus, it is a relevant tool for computer-aided detection as well as the diagnosis of colorectal cancer.

Objectives: Cervical cancer, a leading cause of cancer-related deaths among women globally, has a significantly higher survival rate when diagnosed early. Traditional diagnostic methods like Pap smears and cervical biopsies rely heavily on the skills of cytologists, making the process prone to errors. This study aims to develop CerviXpert, a multi-structural convolutional neural network designed to classify cervix types and detect cervical cell abnormalities efficiently. Methods: We introduced CerviXpert, a computationally efficient convolutional neural network model that classifies cervical cancer using images from the publicly available SiPaKMeD dataset. Our approach emphasizes simplicity, using a limited number of convolutional layers followed by max-pooling and dense layers, trained from scratch. We compared CerviXpert's performance against other state-of-the-art convolutional neural network models, including ResNet50, VGG16, MobileNetV2, and InceptionV3, evaluating them on accuracy, computational efficiency, and robustness using five-fold cross-validation. Results: CerviXpert achieved an accuracy of 98.04% in classifying cervical cell abnormalities into three classes (normal, abnormal, and benign) and 98.60% for five-class cervix type classification, outperforming MobileNetV2 and InceptionV3 in both accuracy and computational demands. It demonstrated comparable results to ResNet50 and VGG16, with significantly reduced computational complexity and resource usage. Conclusion: CerviXpert offers a promising solution for efficient cervical cancer screening and diagnosis, striking a balance between accuracy and computational feasibility. Its streamlined architecture makes it suitable for deployment in resource-constrained environments, potentially improving early detection and management of cervical cancer.
