AI model predicts risk of skin cancer better than existing methods

Xianjing Liu has developed an artificial intelligence (AI) model that predicts the risk of skin cancer based on a photograph of the face. This collaboration with a.o. Gennady Roshchupkin and the Department of Dermatology of Erasmus MC has shown that AI model outperforms the current methods doctors use to assess skin cancer risk.

This research was recently published in Lancet’s eClinicalMedicine: “Predicting skin cancer risk from facial images with an explainable artificial intelligence (XAI) based approach: a proof-of-concept study”. Also the work is featured in a news article entitled “AI model predicts risk of skin cancer better than existing methods” in the Erasmus MC newsletter, Amazing Erasmus MC.
