In a computer-aided diagnostic (CAD) system for skin lesion segmentation, variations in shape and size of the skin lesion makes the segmentation task more challenging. Lesion segmentation is an initial step in CAD schemes as it leads to low error rat...

In the era of digitized images, the goal is to extract information from them and create new knowledge thanks to Computer Vision techniques, Machine Learning and Deep Learning. This enables the use of images for early diagnosis and subsequent treatmen...
Melanoma detection, prognosis, and treatment represent challenging and complex areas of cutaneous oncology with considerable impact on patient outcomes and healthcare economics. Artificial intelligence (AI) applications in these tasks are rapidly dev...
Due to its increasing incidence, skin cancer, and especially melanoma, is a serious health disease today. The high mortality rate associated with melanoma makes it necessary to detect the early stages to be treated urgently and properly. This is the ...

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: One principal impediment in the successful deployment of Artificial Intelligence (AI) based Computer-Aided Diagnosis (CAD) systems in everyday clinical workflows is their lack of transparent decision-making. Although common...
Recently, Raman Spectroscopy (RS) was demonstrated to be a non-destructive way of cancer diagnosis, due to the uniqueness of RS measurements in revealing molecular biochemical changes between cancerous vs. normal tissues and cells. In order to design...

In the USA, each year, almost 5.4 million people are diagnosed with skin cancer. Melanoma is one of the most dangerous types of skin cancer, and its survival rate is 5%. The development of skin cancer has risen over the last couple of years. Early id...
BACKGROUND: Isolated pancreatic metastasis from melanoma is extremely uncommon and accounts for approximately only 2% of visceral disseminations of melanoma. Interestingly, pancreatic localizations disproportionately derive from primary ocular melano...
Multiple types of genomic variations are present in cutaneous melanoma and some of the genomic features may have an impact on the prognosis of the disease. The access to genomics data via public repositories such as The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) all...
