Prognostic Significance of the Modified Glasgow Prognostic Score in Patients With Stage IV Melanoma Receiving Immune Checkpoint Inhibitors: A Single‐Center Retrospective Study

The Journal of Dermatology, Volume 53, Issue 4, Page 587-595, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) have transformed the treatment landscape for malignant melanoma (MM). However, given variable response rates and potential toxicities, identifying robust biomarkers is crucial. We investigated whether the modified Glasgow Prognostic Score (mGPS) predicts treatment efficacy and toxicity in Asian patients with

Robustness of a convolutional neural network trained on dermoscopic images and challenged with close‐up images

JDDG: Journal der Deutschen Dermatologischen Gesellschaft, Volume 24, Issue 4, Page 504-513, April 2026.
Summary Background and Objectives Deep learning‐convolutional neural networks (DL‐CNNs) have demonstrated high diagnostic accuracy within the domain of dermoscopy. However, many clinical settings lack dermoscopic devices, requiring reliance on close‐up images. This study evaluates the robustness of a DL‐CNN trained on dermoscopic images when challenged
