One quarter of Canadians die from cancer, being 80,000 Canadian deaths in 2015, and skin cancer is especially prevalent. In fact, skin cancer has a rate of occurrence equal to that of all other cancers combined. As early detection dramatically increases survival, there exists a longstanding need for quick, reliable, and widespread skin cancer detection.

四分之一的加拿大人死于癌症，2015 年加拿大有 80,000 人死亡，其中皮肤癌尤其普遍。事实上，皮肤癌的发生率等于所有其他癌症的发生率总和。由于早期检测可显着提高生存率，因此长期以来一直需要快速、可靠且广泛的皮肤癌检测。
