Colon cancer is a growth of cells that begins in a part of the large intestine called the colon. Colon cancer happens when cells in the colon develop changes in their DNA. Consequently, fewer infections and fatalities may result from early identification of this cancer. Histological analysis is used for a final diagnosis of colon cancer. Histopathology, or the microscopic examination of damaged tissue, is crucial for both cancer diagnosis and treatment. This work suggests a novel deep learning technique for colon cancer detection effectively. Histopathology images are collected from various type of sources. To enhance the quality of raw images, pre-processed techniques such as image scaling, colour map improved image sharpening, and image restoration are used. Resize the image's dimensions in image resizing to minimize the processing time. A colour map enhances the sharpness of an image by combining two techniques: The contrast adjustment technique is used to alter the image's contrast first. The resultant image is then enhanced by applying the image sharpening process and scaling it using a weighting fraction. As using the final image has increased quality, blur and undesirable noise are removed using image restoration. Next, the pre-data are used in the Attention U-Net segmentation procedure, which segments the region of the pre-data. To extract features from this segmented image to perform an accurate diagnosis, efficientnetB0 is used. In data extraction, the Bidirectional GRU model is used to process the data further in order to develop predictions. When processing input sequences in both directions with the BiGRU model, it is feasible to gather contextual information to increase accuracy and predict colon cancer effectively. In the proposed model colon disease prediction classifier offer 97% accuracy, 96% specificity and 95.49% F1_score. Thus, the proposed model effectively predicts colon cancer and improves accuracy.
