AbstractTraditional disease classification models often disregard the clinical significance of misclassifications and lack interpretability. To overcome these challenges, we propose a hierarchical prototypical decision tree (HPDT) for skin lesion classification. HPDT combines prototypical networks and decision trees, leveraging a class hierarchy to guide interpretable predictions from general to specific categories.

Brown et al.'s1 study of primary melanomas diagnosed at a private dermatology practice by full skin examination with dermoscopy, but without total body photography (TBP) or sequential digital dermoscopic imaging (SDDI), reported a ratio of in situ to invasive melanoma of 4.6:1, which the authors infer is higher than previous studies utilising TBP/SDDI.
