A Systematic Review of Artificial Intelligence Techniques in Cancer Prediction and Diagnosis

Abstract

Artificial intelligence has aided in the advancement of healthcare research. The availability of open-source healthcare statistics has prompted researchers to create applications that aid cancer detection and prognosis. Deep learning and machine learning models provide a reliable, rapid, and effective solution to deal with such challenging diseases in these circumstances. PRISMA guidelines had been used to select the articles published on the web of science, EBSCO, and EMBASE between 2009 and 2021. In this study, we performed an efficient search and included the research articles that employed AI-based learning approaches for cancer prediction. A total of 185 papers are considered impactful for cancer prediction using conventional machine and deep learning-based classifications. In addition, the survey also deliberated the work done by the different researchers and highlighted the limitations of the existing literature, and performed the comparison using various parameters such as prediction rate, accuracy, sensitivity, specificity, dice score, detection rate, area undercover, precision, recall, and F1-score. Five investigations have been designed, and solutions to those were explored. Although multiple techniques recommended in the literature have achieved great prediction results, still cancer mortality has not been reduced. Thus, more extensive research to deal with the challenges in the area of cancer prediction is required.

Prediction Performance of Deep Learning for Colon Cancer Survival Prediction on SEER Data

“…Using these three substages, doctors assign the stage of a patient's cancer by combining the T, N, and M classifications in overall stages [ 22 – 24 ]. The combinations for cancer specifically are outlined here.…”

The Role of Methods and Applications of Artificial Intelligence Tools in the Field of Medicine to Diagnose and Discover Various Diseases

“…In his study entitled "A Systematic Review of Artificial Intelligence Techniques in Cancer Prediction and Diagnosis" [15] mentioned that to achieve the main objective, they developed a research scheme. In this hypothesis, different scientific journals including Google Scholar, IEEE, Science Direct, Web of Science, Wiley Online Library and Elsevier were selected to bring in papers published from 2009 to 2019.…”

Molecular Markers of Pediatric Solid Tumors—Diagnosis, Optimizing Treatments, and Determining Susceptibility: Current State and Future Directions

“…The introduction of technologies such as massively parallel DNA sequencing and RNA sequencing, as well as tools for the interpretation of the vast amounts of data obtained with these methods, including bioinformatic or crystallographic methods, creates an opportunity to elucidate the molecular mechanisms of childhood cancers and to develop targeted therapies. Artificial intelligence methods are also becoming increasingly employed to design therapeutic algorithms and identify prognostic and predictive markers [ 102 ]. The introduction of monitoring of circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) using next-generation sequencing will enable future precise monitoring of treatment.…”
