Abstract

Since cancer is one of the world's top causes of death, early diagnosis is critical to improving patient outcomes. Artificial intelligence (AI) has become a viable technique for cancer diagnosis by using machine learning algorithms to examine large volumes of data for accurate and efficient diagnosis. AI has the potential to alter the way cancer is detected fundamentally. Still, it has several disadvantages, such as requiring a large amount of data, technological limitations, and ethical concerns. This overview looks at the possibilities and restrictions of AI in cancer detection, as well as current applications and possible future developments. We can better understand how to use AI to improve patient outcomes and reduce cancer mortality rates by looking at its potential for cancer detection.
