In this research, we introduce a new way to classify

skin cancer using Deep Learning Method. We trained

our model on a lot of images of skin lesions. It can tell
if a lesion is cancerous or not with very high accuracy.
When we compared it to other methods, ours stood out
for finding cancer in early stages, which could mean
better outcomes for patients.
Cancer is a disease in which cells in the body grow out of
control. When cancer starts in the skin, it is called skin
cancer.

The skin is the body’s largest organ. Skin has several

layers, but the two main layers are the epidermis (upper or
outer layer) and the dermis (lower or inner layer). Skin
cancer begins in the epidermis, which is made up of three
kinds of cells—

Squamous cells: Thin, flat cells that form the top layer of
the epidermis.

Basal cells: Round cells under the squamous cells.

Melanocytes: Cells that make melanin and are found in the

lower part of the epidermis. Melanin is the pigment that
gives skin its color. When skin is exposed to the sun,
melanocytes make more pigment and cause the skin to
darken.
Melanoma:

This type develops in melanocytes, the cells that produce pigment in the
skin. Melanoma is the most dangerous type of skin cancer and can spread
quickly if not treated early.

Basal Cell Carcinoma (BCC):

BCC originates in the basal cells of the skin's outer layer. It's the most
common type of skin cancer, typically appearing as a flesh-colored or pink
bump, often with visible blood vessels.

Squamous Cell Carcinoma (SCC):

SCC forms in the squamous cells, which are flat cells found on the skin's
surface. It can appear as a firm, red nodule or a flat sore with a scaly crust.

Merkel Cell Carcinoma (MCC):

MCC develops in Merkel cells, which are found in the top layer of the
skin. It often appears as a painless, firm, shiny lump on the skin, typically
in areas exposed to the sun.
Ultraviolet (UV) Radiation Exposure: Prolonged
exposure to UV radiation from sunlight or
tanning beds is the primary cause.

Moles: Having numerous or abnormal moles

increases the likelihood of developing skin
cancer.

Age: While skin cancer can occur at any age, it is

more common in older adults due to cumulative
UV exposure.

Immune Suppression: Weakened immune

systems, such as from organ transplants or certain
medical conditions, can increase susceptibility.
For melanoma specifically, a simple way to remember
the warning signs is to remember the A-B-C-D-Es of
melanoma—

Asymmetrical: Does the mole or spot have an

irregular shape with two parts that look very different?

Border: Is the border irregular or jagged?

Color: Is the color uneven?

Diameter: Is the mole or spot larger than the size of a

pea?

Evolving: Has the mole or spot changed during the

past few weeks or months?
Features :
- :-
Skin Cancer Status Detection: The algorithm can classify skin
images into categories such as benign, malignant, or suspicious
lesions, helping in early detection of skin cancer.
Skin Tone Assessment: It can analyse the skin tone of the person
in the image, which can be useful for recommending appropriate
skincare products or treatments.
UV Exposure Evaluation: By examining certain features in the
skin images, the algorithm can estimate the level of UV exposure
the skin has undergone, providing insights into potential sun
damage.
Approach
Data Collection & Annotation: Gather diverse skin image
dataset with labeled skin cancer status, skin tone, and UV
exposure levels.
Data Preprocessing: Resize images, normalise pixel values,
and apply augmentation techniques.
Model Selection: Choose a suitable CNN architecture for
image classification tasks.
Model Training: Split data into training, validation, and
testing sets. Train CNN using training data, adjusting hyper
parameters to optimise performance.
Model Evaluation: Evaluate trained model using testing set,
calculating accuracy, precision.
Continuously monitor and update model for improved
performance.
