Non-melanoma skin cancer diagnosis with a convolutional neural network
Background: The most common types of non-melanoma skin cancer are basal cell carcinoma (BCC), and squamous cell carcinoma (SCC). AKIEC -Actinic keratoses (Solar keratoses) and intraepithelial carcinoma (Bowen’s disease)- are common non-invasive precursors of SCC, which may progress to invasive SCC, if left untreated. Due to the importance of early detection in cancer treatment, this study aimed...
متن کاملEarly Stage Malignant Melanoma Detection Using Morphological Features Project Team
Project Description Although less common than other skin cancers, melanoma is the most deadly variety causing the majority of skin cancer related deaths globally [3]. Most cases are curable if detected early and several reliable and standardized screening techniques have been developed to improve the early detection rate [1], [2]. Such screening techniques have proven useful in clinical setting...
متن کاملBest practice No 162 The histological reporting of melanoma
The incidence of malignant melanoma has increased steadily over the past 30 years and this type of malignancy is the leading cause of death from cutaneous malignant disease. Cutaneous malignancies, including melanoma, can be detected at a very early stage and a cure is possible with prompt detection and treatment. In recent years, and mainly because of increased awareness of the early detection...
متن کاملMelanoma detection with a deep learning model
Background: Skin cancer is one of the most common forms of cancer in the world and melanoma is the deadliest type of skin cancer. Both melanoma and melanocytic nevi begin in melanocytes (cells that produce melanin). However, melanocytic nevi are benign whereas melanoma is malignant. This work proposes a deep learning model for classification of these two lesions. Methods: In this analytic s...
متن کاملComputer-Aided Diagnosis of Micro-Malignant Melanoma Lesions Applying Support Vector Machines
Background. One of the fatal disorders causing death is malignant melanoma, the deadliest form of skin cancer. The aim of the modern dermatology is the early detection of skin cancer, which usually results in reducing the mortality rate and less extensive treatment. This paper presents a study on classification of melanoma in the early stage of development using SVMs as a useful technique for d...
