Treatments and therapies “What do you need to know”. . SKIN FACTS & FUNCTIONS. Melanoma is a cancer that develops in melanocytes, the pigment cells present in the skin. It can be more serious than the other forms of skin cancer because it may spread to other parts of the body (metastasize) and cause serious illness and death. About 50,000 new cases of melanoma are diagnosed in the United States every year.. Melanoma is the deadliest form of skin cancer. Melanoma originates in the cells of the skin that make pigment, called melanocytes.. Melanomas look like moles on the skin. When diagnosed early, melanoma is easily cured by simple outpatient surgical excision. Presentation by Stacey . Neumann . to 6. th. Graders at STEM Launch. Statement: . Skin cancer is rare..

The clinical ABCD (asymmetry, border irregularity, color variation and diameter greater than 6mm) rule is one of the most widely used methods for early melanoma recognition. However, accurate classification of melanoma is still extremely difficult due to following reasons(not limited to): great visual resemblance between melanoma and non-melanoma skin lesions, less contrast difference between skin and the lesions etc. There is an ever-growing need of correct and reliable detection of skin cancers. Advances in the field of deep learning deems it perfect for the task of automatic detection and is very useful to pathologists as they aid them in terms of efficiency and accuracy. .
