Abstract: This paper presents a machine learning-based approach for skin cancer detection improve early diagnosis and treatment results. One of the most common types of cancer is skin cancer, and early detection is essential for successful treatment. The study makes use of a large dataset that includes lifestyle, demographic, and lesion-related data. This dataset has been preprocessed using techniques including encoding categorical categories and addressing missing data. Based on these input features, a machine learning model is subsequently built to forecast the risk of developing skin cancer. To determine the most important factors, the model is validated using accepted validation procedures, and the relative value of different characteristics is analyzed. A user-friendly web interface is created with Gradio to make the tool accessible, allowing users to enter their data and get real-time forecasts. By offering more information for the detection of skin cancer, this method demonstrates how machine learning may help medical professionals. The results show how promising data-driven approaches are for improving medical diagnoses. This study highlights how crucial it is to incorporate machine learning capabilities into healthcare settings in order to improve decision-making. Scalable solutions for early cancer detection in various healthcare settings may result from the model's effective analysis of complicated datasets. In the end, this project paves the way for further developments in automated skin cancer diagnostic systems and other fields.
