Dermatology has emerged as a key beneficiary of artificial intelligence (AI) in healthcare, particularly in skin cancer detection. Despite its critical importance, AI adoption in dermatology trails behind radiology. However, AI's potential for early skin cancer detection is vast. This paper explores the application of machine learning algorithms, specifically deep convolutional neural networks, to diagnose skin cancer from skin image data. Early detection is crucial for effective treatment and improved outcomes. Automated systems can enhance specialists’ accuracy and provide efficient, cost-effective diagnosis. Our research leverages machine learning to develop a reliable skin cancer diagnosis system, addressing the need for timely and accurate detection.
