Assessment of Melanoma Skin Cancer: A Survey

Abstract

The research work assesses different types of skin cancer diseases such as Squamous Cell Carcinoma, Basal Cell Carcinoma and Melanoma. Among all these skin cell cancer disease Melanoma is the deadliest skin cancer disease. As it is more dangerous than other two types of skin cancer disease. The death rate of people who have been affected by Melanoma is also increasing. Hence, this research work intends to predict the Melanoma Skin Cancer disease at the early stage as well as through the related areas of research work that has contributed to the field of Medical Image Analysis. This paper focuses mainly on survey of few computerized melanoma skin cancer prediction procedures for diagnosis purpose. In order to predict these skin cancer tissues from a patient’s body, the research work has considered several factors such as shape, shade, size properties of skin lesion for exploratory analysis purpose. The datasets such as ATLAS and PH2 skin lesions are considered for assessment in this research paper.
