Skin Cancer

4.0K
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...

Area of Science:

  • Dermatology and Medical Imaging
  • Artificial Intelligence in Healthcare
  • Computational Pathology

Background:

  • Skin cancer (SC) diagnosis relies on subjective dermatologist evaluation, necessitating objective support tools.
  • Current deep learning Computer-Aided Diagnostic (CAD) platforms often use complex single Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs), limiting their effectiveness.
  • Existing CAD tools primarily utilize spatial image information, neglecting textural and frequency attributes crucial for accurate SC classification.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop an innovative CAD tool, SCaLiNG, that overcomes the limitations of existing deep learning models for skin cancer diagnosis.
  • To enhance the accuracy and efficiency of skin cancer classification by integrating diverse feature representations.
  • To provide dermatologists with a more reliable and precise tool for identifying and categorizing skin cancer subtypes.

Main Methods:

  • SCaLiNG employs a fusion of three compact Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) and Gabor Wavelets (GW) to extract spatial, textural, and frequency features.
  • Gabor Wavelets decompose images into directional sub-bands, enabling CNNs to learn from multi-directional information alongside the original image.
  • A feature selection approach is applied to identify and utilize the most discriminative features, optimizing model performance.

Main Results:

  • SCaLiNG achieved a classification accuracy of 0.9170 in categorizing skin cancer subtypes.
  • The model demonstrated superior performance compared to conventional single-CNN methodologies.
  • The integration of spatial-textural-frequency attributes and feature selection significantly improved diagnostic accuracy.

Conclusions:

  • SCaLiNG offers a robust and accurate solution for the computer-aided diagnosis of skin cancer.
  • The innovative approach of combining compact CNNs with Gabor Wavelets provides a comprehensive feature representation for improved classification.
  • SCaLiNG has the potential to significantly aid dermatologists in the swift and precise recognition and classification of skin cancer, ultimately improving patient outcomes.
