Detecting colon adenomatous polyps early is crucial for reducing colon cancer risk. This thesis investigated various deep learning approaches for computer-aided diagnosis of colon polyps on histopathology images using deep learning. The thesis addressed key challenges in polyp classification, including differentiating adenomatous polyps from non-adenomatous tissues and multi-class classification of polyp types. Initially, a histopathology image dataset is collected and refined from Kayseri City Hospital. The first study used stain normalization algorithms and an ensemble framework for binary classification, achieving 95% accuracy on the custom dataset and 91.1% and 90% on UnitoPatho and EBHI datasets, respectively. The second study implemented a tailored version of the supervised contrastive learning model for multi-class classification, outperforming state-of-the-art deep learning models with accuracies of 87.1% on custom dataset and 70.3% on UnitoPatho dataset. The third study proposed a self-supervised contrastive learning approach for utilizing all data in cases of limited labeled images. This approach achieved better performance than transfer learning with ImageNet pre-trained models. In conclusion, this PhD thesis investigated deep learning approaches for computer-aided diagnosis of colon polyps on histopathology images, demonstrating high accuracy in binary and multi-class classification, outperforming state-of-the-art models. These findings contribute to improving colon polyp classification accuracy and efficiency, ultimately facilitating the early detection and prevention of colon cancer.
