Putting Artificial Intelligence to Work in Cancer Diagnosis and Treatment

Despite major advances in treatment and diagnosis over the past decades, cancer still ranks as a leading cause of mortality and a major impediment to extending life expectancy worldwide. Artificial intelligence's future involvement in healthcare, particularly in the detection and treatment of cancer, is anticipated to take a variety of forms, ranging from identifying a specific form of cancer to evaluating which therapy method may best treat that particular instance. AI promises to increase customization of cancer care and help individuals live with the illness with a greater quality of life and fewer side effects. In order to discover cancer in its most treatable stage, screenings are meant to monitor patients who do not show any symptoms proactively. U.S. Preventative Services Task Force recommends screening for breast, cervical, colorectal, and lung cancer.
