Abstract
Abstract Nowadays, in the hospital, cervical cancer is in the higher rank (number 2) of the most popular cancer among ladies in the world. This cancer develops in the woman’s cervix which the womb is the entrance. Mostly, doctors in the hospital having trouble to identify the cancer cell because the nucleus of the cell is sometimes slightly hard to observe with eyes. The nucleus of the normal cell is in a smaller size compared to the abnormal nucleus. The abnormal nucleus has a bigger size, which sometimes, the size cannot be identified accurately by seeing with bare eyes to classify the stages of cervical cancer. This is because every doctor has different perspectives to observe the classification of the stages of cancer by observing the nucleus without accurate dimensionality reduction in the accuracy of the classifier. Recently, many researchers proposed a method to detect and classify the Pap smear cell images for cervical cancer diagnosis. This approach may improve the accuracy of the detection and the classification which to show better performance with the balance data and samples precisely. Some of the patients got the result that they are on stage 2, however after re-testing, they actually on stage 4 which the chance to heal is very low. This happens because the doctor can’t find the accurate balance data and sample precisely. In this paper, a comprehensive review of cervical detection based on segmentation nucleus and classification was studied.
