dc.description.abstractSkin cancer is a disease characterized by the uncontrolled proliferation of skin cells, typically manifesting as lesions or abnormal growths. Early diagnosis is critical for improving treatment outcomes. This study proposes an innovative approach to skin cancer diagnosis by integrating modern deep learning models with traditional machine learning algorithms. A three-phase methodology was developed. In the first phase, meaningful features were extracted from skin lesion images using various transfer learning models, including Xception, VGG16, ResNet152V2, InceptionV3, InceptionResNetV2, MobileNetV2, EfficientNetB2, and DenseNet201. In the second phase, dimensionality reduction was performed using Principal Component Analysis (PCA). In the final phase, the reduced feature sets were classified using K-Nearest Neighbors (KNN) and Random Forest (RF) algorithms. Experimental results demonstrated that the highest accuracy of 91.28% was achieved through the combination of DenseNet201 for feature extraction, PCA for dimensionality reduction, and Random Forest for classification. These findings highlight the effectiveness of integrating transfer learning models, dimensionality reduction techniques, and machine learning algorithms in enhancing the accuracy of skin cancer diagnosis.
