Abstract: One of the most precarious diseases is lung cancer. Lung cancer detection is one of the main challenging dilemma nowadays. Most of the cancer cells are overlies with each other. It is tough to detect the cell but also important to identify the existence of cancer cells in the early stage unless unable to prevent. According to 2018 reports, 17 million new lung cancer cases are identified worldwide. The Computer Tomography can be used for diagnosis of cancer with image processing. In this research, we proposed two steps of process for diagnosing the presence of cancer either benign or malignant. In the first step, features are extracted by using GLCM. In the second step, the lung cancer cells are classified either benign or malignant by using Nearest Neighbour classifier. Experimental results demonstrated that the proposed approach performance is 98.76% classification accuracy for diagnosing the lung cancer data.
