AI imaging spots skin cancer before it's visible

Researchers at University Hospital Erlangen developed an AI-powered imaging method to detect basal cell carcinomas on facial skin before they become visible to the eye. The study, published in JAMA Dermatology (DOI: 10.1001/jamadermatol.2026.2992), specifically targets high-risk individuals, aiming to catch the world's most common skin cancer earlier. This non-invasive device could change how we approach early detection for this prevalent skin condition.
