Dual-Modal Lung Cancer AI: Interpretable Radiology and Microscopy with Clinical Risk Integration

Lung cancer remains one of the leading causes of cancer-related mortality worldwide. Conventional computed tomography (CT) imaging, while essential for detection and staging, has limitations in distinguishing benign from malignant lesions and providing interpretable diagnostic insights. To address this challenge, this study proposes a dual-modal artificial intelligence framework that integrates CT radiology with hematoxylin and eosin (H&E) histopathology for lung cancer diagnosis and subtype classification. The system employs convolutional neural networks to extract radiologic and histopathologic features and incorporates clinical metadata to improve robustness. Predictions from both modalities are fused using a weighted decision-level integration mechanism to classify adenocarcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma, large cell carcinoma, small cell lung cancer, and normal tissue. Explainable AI techniques including Grad-CAM, Grad-CAM++, Integrated Gradients, Occlusion, Saliency Maps, and SmoothGrad are applied to provide visual interpretability. Experimental results show strong performance with accuracy up to 0.87, AUROC above 0.97, and macro F1-score of 0.88. Grad-CAM++ achieved the highest faithfulness and localization accuracy, demonstrating strong correspondence with expert-annotated tumor regions. These results indicate that multimodal fusion of radiology and histopathology can improve diagnostic performance while maintaining model transparency, suggesting potential for future clinical decision support systems in precision oncology.
