Abstract
The complexity and heterogeneity of cancer makes early detection and effective treatment crucial to enhance patient survival and quality of life. The intrinsic creative ability of artificial intelligence (AI) offers improvements in patient screening, diagnosis, and individualized care. Advanced technologies, like computer vision, machine learning, deep learning, and natural language processing, can analyze large datasets and identify patterns that permit early cancer detection, diagnosis, management and incorporation of conclusive treatment plans, ensuring improved quality of life for patients by personalizing care and minimizing unnecessary interventions. Genomics, transcriptomics and proteomics data can be combined with AI algorithms to unveil an extensive overview of cancer biology, assisting in its detailed understanding and will help in identifying new drug targets and developing effective therapies. This can also help to identify personalized molecular signatures which can facilitate tailored interventions addressing the unique aspects of each patient. AI-driven transcriptomics, proteomics, and genomes represents a revolutionary strategy to improve patient outcome by offering precise diagnosis and tailored therapy. The inclusion of AI in oncology may boost efficiency, reduce errors, and save costs, but it cannot take the role of medical professionals. While clinicians and doctors have the final say in all matters, it might serve as their faithful assistant.
