The high precision and specificity values underscore the effectiveness of ANN-based classification using optical refractive index features for oral cancer screening. By reducing false positives and preventing unnecessary anxiety among healthy individuals, the proposed approach offers significant clinical value. These findings demonstrate the potential of ANN-assisted optical analysis as a reliable and efficient tool for early oral cancer detection, paving the way for faster diagnosis and improved patient outcomes.
