Article Synopsis
- Non-melanoma skin cancers like basal cell carcinoma (BCC) and cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma (cSCC) are increasingly common, necessitating better diagnostic tools.
- A prospective study evaluated a CE-certified deep learning-based medical device for diagnosing skin lesions in a head & neck outpatient clinic, involving 135 patients with a focus on BCC, cSCC, and benign lesions.
- The device showed over 90% accuracy in identifying malignant lesions as one of the top-5 diagnoses, indicating its potential for early detection and treatment of skin cancers, and further research is recommended to explore its applications in various medical settings.
