Among the most frequent forms of cancer, skin cancer accounts for hundreds of thousands of fatalities annually throughout the globe. It shows up as excessive cell proliferation on the skin. The likelihood of a successful recovery is greatly enhanced by an early diagnosis. More than that, it might reduce the need for or the frequency of chemical, radiological, or surgical treatments. As a result, savings on healthcare expenses will be possible. Dermoscopy, which examines the size, form, and color features of skin lesions, is the first step in the process of detecting skin cancer and is followed by sample and lab testing to confirm any suspicious lesions. Deep learning AI has allowed for significant progress in image-based diagnostics in recent years. Deep neural networks known as convolutional neural networks (CNNs or ConvNets) are essentially an extended form of multi-layer perceptrons. In visual imaging challenges, CNNs have shown the best accuracy. The purpose of this research is to create a CNN model for the early identification of skin cancer. The backend of the CNN classification model will be built using Keras and Tensorflow in Python. Different network topologies, such as Convolutional layers, Dropout layers, Pooling layers, and Dense layers, are explored and tried out throughout the model's development and validation phases. Transfer Learning methods will also be included in the model to facilitate early convergence. The dataset gathered from the ISIC challenge archives will be used to both tests and train the model.
