BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: In oncology, 18-fluorodeoxyglucose (F-FDG) positron emission tomography (PET) / computed tomography (CT) is widely used to identify and analyse metabolically-active tumours. The combination of the high sensitivity and specif...
INTRODUCTION: Vitamin D plays a fundamental role in many metabolic pathways, including those involved in cell proliferation and the immune response. Serum levels of this vitamin have been linked to melanoma risk and prognosis. This study aimed to ass...
Histopathological images are widely used to diagnose diseases including skin cancer. As digital histopathological images are typically of very large size, in the order of several billion pixels, automated identification of all abnormal cell nuclei an...
Malignant melanoma (MM) is one of the most dangerous skin cancers. The aim of this study was to present a potential new method for the differential diagnosis of MM from melanocytic naevi (MN). We examined 20 MM and 19 MN with a new ultra-high-frequen...
Whole-slide histology images contain information that is valuable for clinical and basic science investigations of cancer but extracting quantitative measurements from these images is challenging for researchers who are not image analysis specialists...
BACKGROUND: Melanoma is one of the most aggressive types of cancer that has become a world-class problem. According to the World Health Organization estimates, 132,000 cases of the disease and 66,000 deaths from malignant melanoma and other forms of ...
In this paper, an algorithm is introduced to solve the global optimization problem for melanoma skin cancer segmentation. The algorithm is based on the smoothing of an auxiliary function that is constructed using a known local minimizer and smoothed ...
PURPOSE: Distinguishing benign nevi from malignant melanoma using current histopathological criteria may be very challenging and is one the most difficult areas in dermatopathology. The goal of this study was to identify proteomic differences, which ...
Skin cancer cases are increasing and becoming one of the main problems worldwide. Skin cancer is known as a malignant type of skin lesion, and early detection and treatment are necessary. Malignant melanoma and seborrheic keratosis are known as commo...
