# Blood Cancer Detection from Peripheral Blood Smear Images
2
## Using Deep Learning and Streamlit Interface
3
4
### Abstract
5
This project implements an automated system for detecting and classifying blood cancer (lymphoma) from peripheral blood smear (PBS) images using deep learning techniques. The system provides a user-friendly web interface built with Streamlit, allowing medical professionals to upload PBS images and receive instant predictions about the presence and severity of lymphoma.

#### 1.1 Background
9
Blood cancer, particularly lymphoma, is a serious condition that requires early detection for effective treatment. Traditional manual microscopic examination of peripheral blood smears is time-consuming and subject to human error. This project aims to automate and enhance the detection process using artificial intelligence.
