Analyzing Digital Image by Deep Learning for Melanoma Diagnosis
Image classi cation is an important task in many medical
applications, in order to achieve an adequate diagnostic of di erent le-
sions. Melanoma is a frequent kind of skin cancer, which most of them
can be detected by visual exploration. Heterogeneity and database size
are the most important di culties to overcome in order to obtain a good
classi cation performance. In this work, a deep learning based method
for accurate classi cation of wound regions is proposed. Raw images are
fed into a Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) producing a probability
of being a melanoma or a non-melanoma. Alexnet and GoogLeNet were
used due to their well-known e ectiveness. Moreover, data augmentation
was used to increase the number of input images. Experiments show that
the compared models can achieve high performance in terms of mean ac-
curacy with very few data and without any preprocessing.Universidad de Málaga. Campus de Excelencia Internacional Andalucía Tech
Spatial Organization and Molecular Correlation of Tumor-Infiltrating Lymphocytes Using Deep Learning on Pathology Images
Beyond sample curation and basic pathologic characterization, the digitized H&E-stained images
of TCGA samples remain underutilized. To highlight this resource, we present mappings of tumorinfiltrating lymphocytes (TILs) based on H&E images from 13 TCGA tumor types. These TIL
maps are derived through computational staining using a convolutional neural network trained to
classify patches of images. Affinity propagation revealed local spatial structure in TIL patterns and
correlation with overall survival. TIL map structural patterns were grouped using standard
histopathological parameters. These patterns are enriched in particular T cell subpopulations
derived from molecular measures. TIL densities and spatial structure were differentially enriched
among tumor types, immune subtypes, and tumor molecular subtypes, implying that spatial
infiltrate state could reflect particular tumor cell aberration states. Obtaining spatial lymphocytic
patterns linked to the rich genomic characterization of TCGA samples demonstrates one use for
the TCGA image archives with insights into the tumor-immune microenvironment

Computer-Assisted Annotation of Digital H&E/SOX10 Dual Stains Generates High-Performing Convolutional Neural Network for Calculating Tumor Burden in H&E-Stained Cutaneous Melanoma
Deep learning for the analysis of H&E stains requires a large annotated training set. This may form a labor-intensive task involving highly skilled pathologists. We aimed to optimize and evaluate computer-assisted annotation based on digital dual stains of the same tissue section. H&E stains of primary and metastatic melanoma (N = 77) were digitized, re-stained with SOX10, and re-scanned. Because images were aligned, annotations of SOX10 image analysis were directly transferred to H&E stains of the training set. Based on 1,221,367 annotated nuclei, a convolutional neural network for calculating tumor burden (CNN(TB)) was developed. For primary melanomas, precision of annotation was 100% (95%CI, 99% to 100%) for tumor cells and 99% (95%CI, 98% to 100%) for normal cells. Due to low or missing tumor-cell SOX10 positivity, precision for normal cells was markedly reduced in lymph-node and organ metastases compared with primary melanomas (p < 0.001). Compared with stereological counts within skin lesions, mean difference in tumor burden was 6% (95%CI, −1% to 13%, p = 0.10) for CNN(TB) and 16% (95%CI, 4% to 28%, p = 0.02) for pathologists. Conclusively, the technique produced a large annotated H&E training set with high quality within a reasonable timeframe for primary melanomas and subcutaneous metastases. For these lesion types, the training set generated a high-performing CNN(TB), which was superior to the routine assessments of pathologists
A Review on Skin Disease Classification and Detection Using Deep Learning Techniques
Skin cancer ranks among the most dangerous cancers. Skin cancers are commonly referred to as Melanoma. Melanoma is brought on by genetic faults or mutations on the skin, which are caused by Unrepaired Deoxyribonucleic Acid (DNA) in skin cells. It is essential to detect skin cancer in its infancy phase since it is more curable in its initial phases. Skin cancer typically progresses to other regions of the body. Owing to the disease's increased frequency, high mortality rate, and prohibitively high cost of medical treatments, early diagnosis of skin cancer signs is crucial. Due to the fact that how hazardous these disorders are, scholars have developed a number of early-detection techniques for melanoma. Lesion characteristics such as symmetry, colour, size, shape, and others are often utilised to detect skin cancer and distinguish benign skin cancer from melanoma. An in-depth investigation of deep learning techniques for melanoma's early detection is provided in this study. This study discusses the traditional feature extraction-based machine learning approaches for the segmentation and classification of skin lesions. Comparison-oriented research has been conducted to demonstrate the significance of various deep learning-based segmentation and classification approaches
