Abstract
In recent years, Oral Squamous Cell Carcinoma (OSCC) has been a common tumor in the orofacial region, affecting areas such as the teeth, jaw, and temporomandibular joint. OSCC is classified into three grades: “well-differentiated, moderately differentiated, and poorly differentiated,” with a high morbidity and mortality rate among patients. Several existing methods, such as AlexNet, CNN, U-Net, and V-Net, have been used for OSCC classification. However, these methods face limitations, including low ACC, poor comparability, insufficient data collection, and prolonged training times. To address these limitations, we introduce a novel Deep Transformer Encoder-Assisted Dilated Convolution with Global Attention (DeTr-DiGAtt) model for OSCC classification. To enhance the dataset and mitigate over-fitting, a GAN model is employed for data augmentation. Additionally, an Adaptive Bilateral…
