[Non-invasive automated methods for the diagnosis of periorbital skin tumors]

Malignant skin tumors are the most common type of cancer in both Russia and globally. Malignant skin tumors located in the periorbital region, particularly basal cell carcinoma, pose a significant threat to the visual organ due to the high risk of local invasion, highlighting the need for early diagnosis and timely treatment. This review discusses the main methods of non-invasive instrumental diagnosis of skin tumors in the periorbital region. Key stages in the development of these methods are briefly outlined, and their most significant advantages and disadvantages are noted. The article also considers the automation of diagnostic studies, and potential challenges with its practical implementation.
