Skin Cancer

Skin cancer is a type of cancer that occurs when there is an abnormal growth of skin cells, usually triggered by damage to the DNA within the skin cells. It is primarily caused by exposure to ultraviolet (UV) radiation from the sun or artificial sources like tanning beds. Skin cancer is the most common type of cancer worldwide, and its incidence continues to rise.
Basal Cell Carcinoma (BCC): BCC is the most common type of skin cancer, accounting for about 80% of cases. It typically develops in...

Dermoscopy Aids in the Diagnosis of Discoid Lupus Erythematosus

Published on: May 16, 2025

  • Existing automated border detection methods face issues with image set acquisition, size, and diagnostic distribution.
  • Evaluation of results and method descriptions are often inadequate.

Conclusions:

  • Improving automated border detection requires addressing current methodological limitations.
  • Incorporating dermatologists' higher-level domain knowledge into automated systems is likely to enhance performance, particularly with varied diagnostic image sets.
