AI Model Choice: Anomaly Detection vs. Classification for Cancer Mimics

A user on r/MachineLearning is seeking advice on the best approach for a medical imaging task. They are trying to differentiate between a specific type of cancer and visually similar "mimics" and are debating whether to use anomaly detection or supervised classification. The core of the question revolves around whether treating the cancer as an anomaly or explicitly training a classifier to distinguish between cancer and mimics would yield better results. AI
