Our results show that the proposed system can be used by dermatologists in the clinical decision-making process for the early diagnosis of AM.
#ABCD MELANOMA SKIN#
From our analysis and results, we found that our model performed well and was able to effectively classify skin cancer. Additionally, using the transfer learning approach, we achieved an average accuracy of nearly 97 %, which is comparable to that of state-of-the-art methods. We achieved improved results from our proposed model with an accuracy of more than 90 % for AM and benign nevus, respectively. Additionally, transfer learning was utilized to compare the performance of our model, where AlexNet and ResNet-18 were modified, fine-tuned, and trained on the same dataset. Our custom-built model is a seven-layered deep convolutional network that was trained from scratch. Various image processing and data augmentation techniques have been applied to develop a robust automated system for AM detection.

We utilized a dermoscopic image dataset from the Yonsei University Health System South Korea for the classification of skin lesions. In this study, we present a novel deep learning model, developed to classify skin cancer. The current study investigated the effectiveness of dermoscopy and deep learning in classifying melanoma subtypes, such as, AM. However, to date, limited research has been conducted on the classification of melanoma subtypes. Most of the research on skin cancer diagnosis is related to the binary classification of lesions into melanoma and non-melanoma. It is challenging for dermatologists to diagnose melanoma because of the very minor differences between melanoma and non-melanoma cancers. It can be diagnosed by expert dermatologists, using dermoscopic imaging. Acral melanoma (AM) is a rare and lethal type of skin cancer.
