“…The goal of this study is to investigate if there is an association between metastatic melanoma response to checkpoint inhibitor therapy and tumor-infiltrating lymphocyte (TIL) classification on primary cutaneous melanoma biopsies [1]. While some studies revealed no link between a patient's proximity to dermatology care and the stage of melanoma diagnosis, others proposed that a closer distance to such services may lead to earlier detection of the condition [2]. This information can help to distinguish melanoma from nevi.…”

Melanoma is a potentially life-threatening type of skin cancer, and early detection is crucial for successful treatment. In this study, we propose a novel method for diagnosing melanoma from dermoscopy images. Our approach leverages advanced image processing techniques and an ensemble of deep learners has been developed using learners of VGG, CapsNet, and ResNet to examine dermoscopic images and distinguish between melanoma and benign lesions with high accuracy. Our results indicate that this approach surpasses previous methods in terms of accuracy and has the potential to significantly enhance the diagnosis of melanoma.
