Lung cancer continues to be a major healthcare challenge with high morbidity and mortality rates among both men and women worldwide. The majority of lung cancer cases are of non-small cell lung cancer type. With the advent of targeted cancer therapy, it is imperative not only to properly diagnose but also sub-classify non-small cell lung cancer. In our study, we evaluated the utility of using Apple Create ML module to detect and sub-classify non-small cell carcinomas based on histopathological images. After module optimization, the program detected 100% of non-small cell lung cancer images and successfully subclassified the majority of the images. Trained modules, such as ours, can be utilized in diagnostic smartphone-based applications, augmenting diagnostic services in understaffed areas of the world.
