Abstract

Artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) have emerged as transformative tools in cancer research, offering the ability to process huge data rapidly and make precise therapeutic decisions. Over the last decade, AI, particularly deep learning (DL) and machine learning (ML), has significantly enhanced cancer prediction, diagnosis, and treatment by leveraging algorithms such as convolutional neural networks (CNNs) and multi-layer perceptrons (MLPs). These technologies provide reliable, efficient solutions for managing aggressive diseases like cancer, which have high recurrence and mortality rates. This review prospective highlights the applications of AI in oncology, a long with FDA-approved technologies like EFAI RTSuite CT HN-Segmentation System, Quantib Prostate, and Paige Prostate, and explore their role in advancing cancer detection, personalized care, and treatment. Furthermore, we also explored broader applications of AI in healthcare, addressing challenges, limitations, regulatory considerations, and ethical implications. By presenting these advancements, we underscore AI's potential to revolutionize cancer care, management and treatment.
