A comparison of skin cancer screening and treatment costs at a Massachusetts cancer center, 2008 versus 2013

Global, regional and national incidence, mortality and disability‐adjusted life‐years of skin cancers and trend analysis from 1990 to 2019: An analysis of the Global Burden of Disease Study 2019

“…In this study, we comprehensively analyzed the spatial and temporal trends in incidence, mortality and DALYs of skin cancers at the global, regional, and national level, by age, sex and subtype from 1990 to 2019. Although in some regions and countries, the primary and secondary prevention for BCC, such as UVR protection and early self‐detection, have the potential to substantially reduce morbidity and health care costs of BCC in recent years, 8 , 10 , 24 , 25 the global burden of BCC continues to grow in ASIR and ASDR. The global aging of the population has become more serious, which is probably the main reason for an increase in ASIR of BCC worldwide.…”

Dictionary-based Sparse Representations for Automatic Processing and Analysis of Melanocytic Skin Lesions in Macroscopic Images

“…These analyses were carried out using paired datasets as recommended in [31], notably encompassing pixel sets for the evaluation of segmentation methods and image sets for the assessment of classification methods. 2 The comparative analysis with the proposed melanocytic skin lesion segmentation method is detailed next in Subsection IV-A, followed by the comparative analysis with the proposed melanocytic skin lesion classification method, which can be regarded as the evaluation of the system as a whole and is presented in Subsection IV-B.…”

“…This malignant melanocytic skin lesion is the deadliest form of skin cancer due to its higher propensity for metastasis [1]. While early detection of melanoma tends to offer a more favorable prognosis, timely diagnosis plays a key role not only in reducing mortality rates but also in minimizing the treatment costs associated with the disease [2].…”
