BACKGROUND: Dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans (DFSP) is a rare mesenchymal tumor that is primarily treated with surgery. Targeted therapy is a promising approach to help reduce the high rate of recurrence. This study aims to identify the potential targ...
Skin cancer remains the most commonly diagnosed cancer in the USA with more than 1 million new cases each year. Melanomas account for about 1% of all skin cancers and most skin cancer deaths. Multiethnic individuals whose skin is pigmented underestim...
The objective of this study was to compute threshold values for the diameter of superficial spreading melanomas (SSMs) at which the radial growth phase (RGP) evolves into an invasive vertical growth phase (VGP). We examined reports from 1995 to 2019 ...
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...

Melanoma is considered as one of the world's deadly cancers. This type of skin cancer will spread to other areas of the body if not detected at an early stage. Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) based classifiers are currently considered one of the m...
MOTIVATION: Gene set enrichment analysis (GSEA) has been widely used to identify gene sets with statistically significant difference between cases and controls against a large gene set. GSEA needs both phenotype labels and expression of genes. Howeve...
General practitioners (GPs) are playing a key role in skin cancer screening. Non-melanoma skin cancer is frequent and difficult to diagnose. We aimed to assess whether GPs are facing difficulties in diagnosing non-pigmented skin tumours (NPSTs) and w...

Artificial intelligence (AI) algorithms have been shown to diagnose skin lesions with impressive accuracy in experimental settings. The majority of the literature to date has compared AI and dermatologists as opponents in skin cancer diagnosis. Howev...
A reported 96,480 people were diagnosed with melanoma in the United States in 2019, leading to 7230 reported deaths. Early-stage identification of suspicious pigmented lesions (SPLs) in primary care settings can lead to improved melanoma prognosis an...
