Abstract

OBJECTIVE: Leukemia is a type of blood cancer that begins in the bone marrow and results in high numbers of abnormal white blood cells. Automated detection and classification of leukemia and its subtypes using artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) algorithms plays a significant role in the early diagnosis and treatment of this fatal disease. This study aimed to review and synthesize research findings on AI-based approaches in leukemia detection and classification from peripheral blood smear images.
