The clinical application of artificial intelligence in cancer precision treatment – Journal of Translational Medicine
Background Artificial intelligence has made significant contributions to oncology through the availability of high-dimensional datasets and advances in computing and deep learning. Cancer precision medicine aims to optimize therapeutic outcomes and reduce side effects for individual cancer patients. However, a comprehensive review describing the impact of artificial intelligence on cancer precision medicine is lacking. Observations By collecting and integrating large volumes of data and applying it to clinical tasks across various algorithms and models, artificial intelligence plays a significant role in cancer precision medicine. Here, we describe the general principles of artificial intelligence, including machine learning and deep learning. We further summarize the latest developments in artificial intelligence applications in cancer precision medicine. In tumor precision treatment, artificial intelligence plays a crucial role in individualizing both conventional and emerging therapies. In specific fields, including target prediction, targeted drug generation, immunotherapy response prediction, neoantigen prediction, and identification of long non-coding RNA, artificial intelligence offers promising perspectives. Finally, we outline the current challenges and ethical issues in the field. Conclusions Recent clinical studies demonstrate that artificial intelligence is involved in cancer precision medicine and has the potential to benefit cancer healthcare, particularly by optimizing conventional therapies, emerging targeted therapies, and individual immunotherapies. This review aims to provide valuable resources to clinicians and researchers and encourage further investigation in this field.
