Abstract: The integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in oncology is transforming cancer detection, diagnosis, and treatment, leading to more precise and personalized care. AI-powered algorithms are enhancing early cancer detection through advanced imaging analysis, reducing false positives and enabling faster diagnosis. Machine learning models trained on vast datasets are improving tumor classification, predicting disease progression, and identifying optimal treatment strategies tailored to individual patients. AI is also revolutionizing drug discovery by accelerating the identification of potential therapeutic compounds and optimizing clinical trial designs. In radiation therapy and radioisotope-based treatments, AI is refining dose planning and real-time monitoring, minimizing damage to healthy tissues while maximizing treatment efficacy. Additionally, AIdriven genomics and biomarker analysis are advancing personalized medicine, allowing for targeted therapies that improve patient outcomes. Despite these advancements, challenges such as data privacy, ethical concerns, and the need for regulatory approval must be addressed to ensure AI’s seamless integration into clinical practice. The collaboration between AI developers, oncologists, and regulatory bodies will be crucial in overcoming these hurdles. As AI continues to evolve, its role in oncology will expand, leading to more efficient, cost-effective, and patient-centric cancer care. This paper explores the latest innovations, challenges, and future directions of AI in cancer detection and treatment, highlighting it’s potential to revolutionize oncology and improve survival rates worldwide.
