Examples of malignant melanoma prediction changes with additional context and evidence information
Note: Green and red boxes indicate correct and incorrect predictions, respectively.
- Patient A: Multiple atypical lesions reduce suspicion of malignancy in an additional atypical lesion, while a morphologically typical lesion distinct in the nevus landscape is considered suspicious.
- Patient B: Demonstrates how including anatomical location accurately detects an "ugly duckling" suspicious lesion by comparing it to other lesions in the same location to predict malignancy effectively.
- Patients C and D: Underscore how incorporating location information prevents misclassification of benign lesions as malignant by considering the specific anatomical characteristics that differentiate suspicious lesions in different locations.
- Patients E and F: Emphasize the importance of patient demographics to help the model correlate lesion characteristics with susceptibility to risk factors, avoiding misdiagnosis of benign lesions as malignant based on a better understanding of patient-specific factors.
