description | Artificial intelligence (AI) has rapidly evolved and demonstrated its potential in transforming biomedical cancer research, offering innovative solutions for cancer diagnosis, treatment, and overall patient care. Over the past two decades, AI has played a pivotal role in revolutionizing various facets of cancer clinical research. In this comprehensive review, we delve into the diverse applications of AI across the cancer care continuum, encompassing radiodiagnosis, radiotherapy, chemotherapy, immunotherapy, targeted therapy, surgery, and nanotechnology. AI has revolutionized cancer diagnosis, enabling early detection and precise characterization through advanced image analysis techniques. In radiodiagnosis, AI-driven algorithms enhance the accuracy of medical imaging, making it an invaluable tool for clinicians in the detection and assessment of cancer. AI has also revolutionized radiotherapy, facilitating precise tumor boundary delineation, optimizing treatment planning, and enabling real-time adjustments to improve therapeutic outcomes while minimizing collateral damage to healthy tissues. In chemotherapy, AI models have emerged as powerful tools for predicting patient responses to different treatment regimens, allowing for more personalized and effective strategies. In immunotherapy, AI analyzes genetic and imaging data to select ideal candidates for treatment and predict responses. Targeted therapy has seen great advancements with AI, aiding in the identification of specific molecular targets for tailored treatments. AI plays a vital role in surgery by offering real-time navigation and support, enhancing surgical precision. Moreover, the synergy between AI and nanotechnology promises the development of personalized nanomedicines, offering more efficient and targeted cancer treatments. While challenges related to data quality, interpretability, and ethical considerations persist, the future of AI in cancer research holds tremendous promise for improving patient outcomes through advanced and individualized care. |
