Progress of artificial intelligence application in cancer diagnosis and treatment

Abstract

The artificial intelligence (AI) technology with supreme capacity of big data integration and management have been used in digital diagnosis and clinical treatment,which have greatly facilitated the development of clinical oncology and precision medicine. AI technology is far superior to human beings in big data integration and analysis, so has been widely applied in pathological image analysis, molecular marker discovery, clinical decision support, drug discovery and recommendation and so on. In recent years, many remarkable achievements have been made in the field. This review discussed the latest applications of AI-assisted precision cancer diagnosis and treatment, highlighted emerging challenges, and predicted the development trend in the future.
