The growing number of cases of stomach cancer makes it even more important to have accurate and quick diagnosis tools. This study uses cutting edge image processing techniques to try to solve this problem. The proposed method study uses a wide range of CT pictures that show different types of patients and imaging conditions. The method used to make sure the reliability of later studies includes pre-processing steps like noise reduction and intensity adjustment. For lymph node classification, the method created a complex program with advanced features that made it easier for lymph nodes to be automatically found and put into groups in the pictures. Similarly, the method used cutting-edge segmentation tools to correctly separate cancerous areas in the stomach cancer segmentation. The suggested method has been thoroughly tested using standard criteria, showing that it can accurately classify lymph nodes and divide stomach cancer into segments. Comparing the deep learning method to existing ones showed that it was better, showing that it has the ability to make a big difference in how medical picture analysis is done now. As part of the conversation, the proposed method strengths and weaknesses were emphasized, along with how the results were interpreted. The results show that the deep learning model could have a positive effect on patients by making diagnoses more accurately, making examination easier for the doctors, and eventually better patient outcomes. The proposed method for automatic lymph node labelling and the stomach cancer segmentation system are both exciting steps forward in the field of medical image analysis. The paper study's strong points and high levels of accuracy using deep learning network show that this approach has the ability to completely change how stomach cancer is diagnosed, leading to better patient care and results.
