A thorough analysis of developments in machine learning (ML) and deep learning (DL) technologies for skin cancer diagnosis is provided in this research. It investigates how ML and DL could improve the precision and effectiveness of melanoma, basal cell carcinoma, and squamous cell carcinoma detection. By looking at current studies, the study emphasizes the use of neural networks, convolutional neural networks (CNNs), support vector machines (SVM), random forests, and k-nearest neighbors (KNN) in the diagnosis of skin cancer. Key findings show that DL models, including VGG, ResNet, and Inception benefit from huge datasets and sophisticated data augmentation strategies to attain high accuracy, sensitivity, and specificity. The paper also discusses the challenges and limitations associated with these technologies, such as the requirement for extensive annotated datasets. The study concludes with a call for collaboration to overcome current challenges and enhance the practical application of ML and DL in skin cancer detection.
