Abstract

This research paper presents a deep learning approach to early detection of skin cancer using image augmentation techniques. The authors propose a two-stage image augmentation technique that involves the use of geometric augmentation and generative adversarial network (GAN) to classify skin lesions as either benign or malignant. This research utilized the public HAM10000 dataset to test the proposed model. Several pre-trained models of CNN were employed, namely Xception, Inceptionv3, Resnet152v2, EfficientnetB7, InceptionresnetV2, and VGG19. Our approach achieved accuracy, precision, recall, and F1-score of 96.90%, 97.07%, 96.87%, 96.97%, respectively, which is higher than the performance achieved by other state-of-the-art methods. The paper also discusses the use of SHapley Additive exPlanations (SHAP), an interpretable technique for skin cancer diagnosis, which can help clinicians understand the reasoning behind the diagnosis and improve trust in the system. Overall, the proposed method presents a promising approach to automated skin cancer detection that could improve patient outcomes and reduce healthcare costs.
