Abstract: Abnormal behaviors of tumors pose a risk to human survival. Thus, the detection of cancers
at their initial stage is beneficial for patients and lowers the mortality rate. However, this can
be difficult due to various factors related to imaging modalities, such as complex background, low
contrast, brightness issues, poorly defined borders and the shape of the affected area. Recently,
computer-aided diagnosis (CAD) models have been used to accurately diagnose tumors in different
parts of the human body, especially breast, brain, lung, liver, skin and colon cancers. These cancers
are diagnosed using various modalities, including computed tomography (CT), magnetic resonance
imaging (MRI), colonoscopy, mammography, dermoscopy and histopathology. The aim of this review
was to investigate existing approaches for the diagnosis of breast, brain, lung, liver, skin and
colon tumors. The review focuses on decision-making systems, including handcrafted features and
deep learning architectures for tumor detection.
