Abstract

In the last 10 years, artificial intelligence (AI) has made impressive progress in imitating human cognitive abilities using complex mathematical algorithms, especially in the field of oncology. The intricate genetic and epigenetic variations of cancer pose significant difficulties in both diagnosing and treating the disease. The World Health Organization places a high importance on early cancer identification in order to enhance the chances of survival. However, there are ongoing difficulties in precisely identifying individuals and evaluating their level of risk. AI algorithms demonstrate substantial potential in addressing these challenges by identifying genetic anomalies and aberrant protein interactions at an early stage, while also improving the precision of disease risk prediction, diagnosis, prognosis, and treatment planning. The incorporation of AI and machine learning in cancer care has the capacity to transform healthcare by facilitating individualized treatment methods and fostering immediate communication among researchers via digital platforms. As AI becomes more integrated into clinical practice, it is crucial to ensure its safe and ethical use in order to fully harness its promise. This progress not only clears the path for more efficient cancer diagnosis and treatment but also shows potential for enhancing overall patient care, establishing AI-driven innovations as a crucial element of future healthcare.
