AI, Other Technologies May Help Narrow Gender Disparities in Melanoma

Men with melanoma tend to be diagnosed later and have worse outcomes. Artificial intelligence can help change that, a review suggests.
Technology like artificial intelligence (AI) may help address gender disparities in melanoma, but a new report also suggests that lasting improvement will require a mix of innovative technologies and clearly targeted policy initiatives. Those conclusions were drawn in a review published last month in Dermatological Reviews.
Corresponding author Abdulqadir J. Nashwan, MSc, of Qatar University, and colleagues, wanted to better understand the biological, behavioral, and environmental factors underlying consistent findings that men with melanoma are statistically more likely to be diagnosed at a later stage, have more aggressive tumors, and die from the disease, compared to women.
