Application of artificial intelligence in chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) disease prediction and management: a scoping review

Abstract

Abstract Background Navigating the complexity of chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) diagnosis and management poses significant challenges, including the need for accurate prediction of disease progression and response to treatment. Artificial intelligence (AI) presents a transformative approach that enables the development of sophisticated predictive models and personalized treatment strategies that enhance early detection and improve therapeutic interventions for better patient outcomes. Methods An extensive search was conducted to retrieve relevant articles from PubMed, Scopus, and Web of Science databases up to April 24, 2023. Data were collected using a standardized extraction form, and the results are presented in tables and graphs, showing frequencies and percentages. The authors adhered to the PRISMA-ScR checklist to ensure transparent reporting of the study. Results Of the 176 articles initially identified, 12 were selected for our study after removing duplicates and applying the inclusion and exclusion criteria. AI’s primary applications of AI in managing CML included tumor diagnosis/classification (n = 9, 75%), prediction/prognosis (n = 2, 17%), and treatment (n = 1, 8%). For tumor diagnosis, AI is categorized into blood smear image-based (n = 5), clinical parameter-based (n = 2), and gene profiling-based (n = 2) approaches. The most commonly employed AI models include Support Vector Machine (SVM) (n = 5), eXtreme Gradient Boosting (XGBoost) (n = 4), and various neural network methods, such as Artificial Neural Network (ANN) (n = 3). Furthermore, Hybrid Convolutional Neural Network with Interactive Autodidactic School (HCNN-IAS) achieved 100% accuracy and sensitivity in organizing leukemia data types, whereas MayGAN attained 99.8% accuracy and high performance in diagnosing CML from blood smear images. Conclusions AI offers groundbreaking insights and tools for enhancing prediction, prognosis, and personalized treatment in chronic myeloid leukemia. Integrated AI systems empower healthcare practitioners with advanced analytics, optimizing patient care and improving clinical outcomes in CML management.
