Metastasis development represents an important threat for melanoma patients, even when diagnosed at early stages and upon removal of the primary tumor. In this scenario, determination of prognostic biomarkers would be of great interest. Serum contain...

BACKGROUND: Convolutional neural networks (CNNs) have shown a dermatologist-level performance in the classification of skin lesions. We aimed to deliver a head-to-head comparison of a conventional image analyser (CIA), which depends on segmentation a...

Skin is the outermost and largest organ of the human body that protects us from the external agents. Among the various types of diseases affecting the skin, melanoma (skin cancer) is the most dangerous and deadliest disease. Though it is one of the d...
Skin conditions affect 1.9 billion people. Because of a shortage of dermatologists, most cases are seen instead by general practitioners with lower diagnostic accuracy. We present a deep learning system (DLS) to provide a differential diagnosis of sk...

Managing the balance between accurately identifying early stage melanomas while avoiding obtaining biopsy specimens of benign lesions (ie, overbiopsy) is the major challenge of melanoma detection. Decision making can be especially difficult in patien...
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 ...

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...
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 ...
BACKGROUND: Melanoma results in the vast majority of skin cancer deaths during the last decades, even though this disease accounts for only one percent of all skin cancers' instances. The survival rates of melanoma from early to terminal stages is mo...
