Cancer is a leading cause of global death, with skin cancer being a particularly deadly subtype. Malignant melanoma, an aggressive form of skin cancer, has been increasing worldwide. Early detection through screenings is crucial for improving survival rates. Dermoscopy, a non-invasive diagnostic method using a specialized instrument called a dermatoscope, has been widely adopted by dermatologists due to its ease of use and versatility, for evaluating suspicious skin lesions and avoiding unnecessary biopsies of stable lesions. Artificial intelligence (AI) is increasingly being used in biomedical research and clinical practice for automating diagnoses and assisting physicians. The accuracy of skin disease diagnosis is often linked to the experience of the dermatologist, making AI a useful tool for supplementary opinions and screening benign lesions.
