Skin Cancer

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...

Area of Science:

Dermatology
Artificial Intelligence
Medical Imaging

Background:

Early melanoma detection is critical for patient survival.
Current deep learning models for skin lesion analysis face challenges in clinical practice.
Limited data on melanoma stage distribution and lack of cross-dataset evaluations hinder model reliability.

Purpose of the Study:

To address the limitations in early-stage melanoma detection using deep learning.
To introduce a benchmark dataset for T-category melanoma analysis.
To facilitate cross-dataset evaluation of diagnostic models.

Main Methods:

Development of an early-stage melanoma benchmark dataset.
Images are labeled based on T-category using Breslow thickness.
Evaluation of state-of-the-art deep learning models on the new dataset.

Main Results:

Deep learning models showed a significant performance decrease on the early-stage melanoma dataset.
Performance drop was notable compared to results on ISIC Challenge datasets.
This indicates limited capability in detecting early-stage melanoma.

Conclusions:

The study highlights the inadequacy of current models for early-stage melanoma detection.
The developed dataset serves as a resource for T-category-specific analysis.
This work aims to improve the clinical applicability of automated melanoma diagnostic systems.
