Abstract

Lung cancer continues to be a prominent source of cancer-related fatalities on a global scale, highlighting the necessity for enhanced methods of diagnosis and treatment. Artificial intelligence (AI) has the capacity to assist in the treatment of lung cancer by aiding in the detection, diagnostic, decision-making, and prognosis prediction processes. The rise of AI in recent years has generated significant interest in its possible application in the field of lung cancer. AI algorithms such as machine learning, deep learning, and radiomics have demonstrated impressive ability in identifying and describing lung nodules, thereby assisting in precise lung cancer screening and diagnosis. These systems have the capability to analyse different types of medical imaging, including low-dose computed tomography (CT) scans, positron emission tomography CT imaging, and chest radiographs. They can accurately detect and identify abnormal nodules, helping to enable prompt medical action. AI models have shown potential in using biomarkers and tumour markers as additional screening tools, effectively improving the precision and accuracy of early detection. This chapter presents a comprehensive summary of the present condition of AI applications in the fields of lung cancer screening, diagnosis, and treatment.
