Abstract

This study explores the potential of artificial intelligence (AI) in enhancing early cancer diagnosis by evaluating the accuracy and efficiency of AI-based diagnostic tools compared to traditional methods. Despite challenges such as data privacy and algorithmic bias, the research demonstrates AI’s superior performance in accuracy and speed, suggesting significant improvements in early detection and personalized treatment. The study applies AI methods, such as deep learning and machine learning models to diverse medical data types including imaging, genomics, and pathology using a broad collection of AI algorithms. Such research points to the widely varying ways AI systems vastly outperform conventional means of diagnoses in accuracy and speed, offering improved earlier detection and more tailored plans for patients.
