Abstract

Aims and Objectives: This article aims to explore the transformative role of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in oncology, focusing on its impact on early cancer detection, precise diagnosis, personalized treatment, and overall patient management. It seeks to provide insights into the recent advancements of AI in cancer care, the challenges associated with its integration, and the potential future directions in oncology. Background: With the evolution of Artificial Intelligence (AI), even cancer care approaches are evolving as it is providing innovative solutions to some of the most complex challenges in oncology. This article delves into how AI is making a profound impact across the cancer care spectrum worldwide, from early detection and precise diagnosis to the personalization of treatment and improved patient management. By harnessing AI's ability to analyze massive datasets and identify patterns beyond human perception, healthcare professionals can offer more accurate diagnoses and more effective treatments tailored to individual patient needs. This review also highlights the most recent advancements in AI-driven technologies in oncology and looks toward the future, where AI's role is expected to expand further. By discussing the potential and challenges of AI in cancer care, this article offers insights into how it is reshaping oncology practice, with the ultimate goal of enhancing patient outcomes and revolutionizing cancer treatment. Material and Methods: A comprehensive review of literature was conducted, focusing on AI applications in oncology, including diagnostic imaging, precision oncology, and clinical decision support systems. Recent studies were analyzed to understand the role of AI-driven technologies in cancer diagnosis, treatment, and management. Inclusion criteria: Peer-reviewed articles, case studies, and reviews published in the last five years that focus on the application of AI in oncology, including early cancer detection, diagnostic accuracy, personalized treatment, and clinical decision support systems. Exclusion criteria: Articles that did not focus on oncology, did not involve AI technologies, or were not peer-reviewed were excluded from this review. Results: AI has shown significant improvements in cancer detection and diagnostic accuracy, particularly through advanced imaging techniques and personalized treatment strategies. AI-powered diagnostic tools have revolutionized imaging by enhancing detection rates and reducing diagnostic errors. Moreover, AI has played a crucial role in tailoring therapeutic interventions based on individual patient characteristics, thus contributing to precision oncology. Conclusion: AI is revolutionizing cancer care by improving diagnostic precision, personalizing treatments, and enhancing patient outcomes. However, challenges such as data privacy, algorithm bias, and regulatory complexities must be addressed. Future innovations in AI, along with collaborative efforts, will further enhance cancer care and pave the way for AI-driven oncology practices globally.
