One of the most complex and life-threatening pathologies of the central nervous system is brain tumors. Correct diagnosis of these tumors plays an important role in determining the treatment plans of patients. Traditional classification methods often rely on manual assessments, which can be prone to error. Therefore, multiple classification of brain tumors has gained significant interest in recent years in both the medical and computer science fields. The use of artificial intelligence and machine learning, especially in the automatic classification of brain tumors, is increasing significantly. Deep learning models can achieve high accuracy when trained on datasets in diagnosis and classification. This study examined deep learning-based approaches for automatic multi-class classification of brain tumors, and a new approach combining deep learning and quantum genetic algorithms (QGA) was proposed. The powerful feature extraction ability of the pre-trained EfficientNetB0 was utilized and combined with this quantum genetic algorithms, a new approach was proposed. It is aimed to develop the feature selection method. With this hybrid method, high reliability and accuracy in brain tumor classification was achieved. The proposed model achieved high accuracy of 98.36% and 98.25%, respectively, with different data sets and significantly outperformed traditional methods. As a result, the proposed method offers a robust and scalable solution that will help classify brain tumors in early and accurate diagnosis and contribute to the field of medical imaging with patient outcomes.
