IMPORTANCE: Convolutional neural networks (CNN) have shown performance equal to trained dermatologists in differentiating benign from malignant skin lesions. To improve clinicians' management decisions, additional classifications into diagnostic cate...
BACKGROUND: Surgical excision with clear histopathological margins is the preferred treatment to prevent progression of lentigo maligna (LM) to invasive melanoma. However, the assessment of resection margins on sun-damaged skin is challenging. We dev...
When the mutation affects the melanocytes of the body, a condition called melanoma results which is one of the deadliest skin cancers. Early detection of cutaneous melanoma is vital for raising the chances of survival. Melanoma can be due to inherite...
Advancements in dermoscopy techniques have elucidated identifiable characteristics of melanoma which revolve around the asymmetrical constitution of melanocytic lesions consequent of unfettered proliferative growth as a malignant lesion. This study e...

Immunohistochemistry (IHC) is a diagnostic technique used throughout pathology. A machine learning algorithm that could predict individual cell immunophenotype based on hematoxylin and eosin (H&E) staining would save money, time, and reduce tissue co...

BACKGROUND: Deep learning convolutional neural networks (CNN) may assist physicians in the diagnosis of melanoma. The capacity of a CNN to differentiate melanomas from combined naevi, the latter representing well-known melanoma simulators, has not be...
In this research, we present a semi-supervised segmentation solution using convolutional autoencoders to solve the problem of segmentation tasks having a small number of ground-truth images. We evaluate the proposed deep network architecture for the ...
Diagnosis in dermatology is largely based on contextual factors going far beyond the visual and dermoscopic inspection of a lesion. Diagnostic tools such as the different types of dermoscopy, confocal microscopy and optical coherence tomography (OCT)...
Skin cancer is a major public health problem with over 123,000 newly diagnosed cases worldwide in every year. Melanoma is the deadliest form of skin cancer, responsible for over 9000 deaths in the United States each year. Thus, reliable automatic mel...
