2. Significance Of The Research

Colon cancer is the most common tumour-producing disease in the world. It is unfortunately well known that many hospitals and treatment centres lack the facilities and equipment to predict the disease. Additionally, the larger the queue of people waiting to be treated in a given region lacking requisite facilities, the larger the probability of missed diagnoses. For this reason, there is a great need for new methods and technologies to enhance cancer detection and tumour classification.
