“…For example, the differentiation of melanocytes from langerhans cells in melanocytic lesions lacks specificity, the misdiagnosis due to specific lesion or missed detection because of sampling error, as well as the clinical experience of the doctors (63) . There were four records in Cancer-CSR concentrated on the applying of RCM for diagnosing skin cancer in adults with any suspicious lesion which was all published in 2018 (64)(65)(66)(67) .…”

Purpose: To analyze the scientific outputs of the cancer topic of Cochrane systematic reviews (Cancer-CSR) in order to have a comprehensive understanding and lay the foundation for the following research. Patients and methods: Cochrane Database of Systematic Review and Web of Science Core Collection were retrieved limited from Jan. 1, 2009 to Dec. 12, 2018. CiteSpace IV and Excel 2018 were applied to analyze and visualize the literature information. Results: Ultimately, 607 Cancer-CSR were retrieved, 32 countries, 179 institutions and 260 authors involved. The number of publications in Cancer-CSR has been increasing over the past decades (25(2009)-77(2018)). UK, USA, Canada, Australia, and Germany worked closely with other countries, especially the UK (n=361) has taken the lead in this field. The top 10 contributive institutions, which were almost came from developed countries, collaborated closely with other institutions. Cochrane Database Syst Rev, C Hdb Sys and J Clin Oncol were the top three journals with the highest co-citation. The top three co-cited references were the two different version of Cochrane handbook for systematic reviews and the guidelines of Review Manager. The biggest cluster of keywords “cytoreductive surgery (CRS)” and the latest clusters “visual inspection” and “non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug” were the most promising hotspots. Conclusions: Cancer-CSR has been increasing. Most of the reviews were came from the developed countries as well as the institutes in these countries. The knowledge base of was the methodology studies of systematic review, epidemiological data of cancer, and the reporting guideline of systematic reviews. The adjuvant therapy combined CRS, the screening of skin cancer and the management of cancer-related pain were the hotspots. Reasons that influence the author's preference for Cancer-CSR also deserve further investigation.

“…On the other hand, training the ability of dermatologists and pathologists to read and interpret RCM results at the bedside or remotely was the key to widespread acceptance and adoption of RCM imaging (58) . What's more, there were four records in Cancer-CSR concentrated on the applying of RCM for diagnosing skin cancer in adults with any suspicious lesion (60)(61)(62)(63) , which were all published in 2018.…”

“…It is currently being used to measure tumor depth, predicting the required excision margins for the avoidance of biopsy before complete removal [31,32]. A Cochrane review of HFUS diagnostics of skin cancer was not able to perform a pooled analysis due to low study count and heterogeneity [33]. Qualitative markers of CM in two papers demonstrated sensitivities of 1.00 with specificities from 0.33 (95% CI, 0.20-0.48) to 0.73 (95% CI, 0.57-0.85).…”

“…Two recorded attempts of quantitative measurements set at a sensitivity of 1.00 achieved a specificity of 0.93 (95% CI, 0.77-0.99) and 0.65 (95% CI, 0.51-0.76), respectively. However, all studies were deemed to be of low quality, with inherent biases [33]. A quantitative HFUS CM radiomics study evaluating parameters of tissue acoustics, texture and shape, managed to achieve accuracy of 0.824 [34].…”

Diagnostics of Melanocytic Skin Tumours by a Combination of Ultrasonic, Dermatoscopic and Spectrophotometric Image Parameters

et al. 2020

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Dermatoscopy, high-frequency ultrasonography (HFUS) and spectrophotometry are promising quantitative imaging techniques for the investigation and diagnostics of cutaneous melanocytic tumors. In this paper, we propose the hybrid technique and automatic prognostic models by combining the quantitative image parameters of ultrasonic B-scan images, dermatoscopic and spectrophotometric images (melanin, blood and collagen) to increase accuracy in the diagnostics of cutaneous melanoma. The extracted sets of various quantitative parameters and features of dermatoscopic, ultrasonic and spectrometric images were used to develop the four different classification models: logistic regression (LR), linear discriminant analysis (LDA), support vector machine (SVM) and Naive Bayes. The results were compared to the combination of only two techniques out of three. The reliable differentiation between melanocytic naevus and melanoma were achieved by the proposed technique. The accuracy of more than 90% was estimated in the case of LR, LDA and SVM by the proposed method.

High-frequency ultrasound for diagnosing skin cancer in adults

Abstract: How up-to-date is this review? The review authors searched for and used studies published up to August 2016. *In these studies biopsy was the reference standard (means of establishing the final diagnosis). High-frequency ultrasound for diagnosing skin cancer in adults (Review)
