description Early diagnosis and precise detection of skin cancer represent a global health priority since this disease remains highly dangerous while being among the most frequent ones. This research investigates the effectiveness of deep learning techniques, specifically Convolutional Neural Networks (CNN) and the VGG16 architecture, for skin cancer detection and classification. The study works with images from the International Skin Imaging Collaboration (ISIC) while employing resizing and augmentation preprocessing to boost its model performance. We evaluate the proposed model using precision, recall, and F1-score metrics to ensure accurate classification. The proposed CNN model achieved 87% validation accuracy, outperforming the VGG16 model, which attained 65% accuracy. Experimental results highlight the potential of AI-driven models in improving diagnostic accuracy, demonstrating their significance in medical image analysis and early skin cancer detection.
