“…AI-assisted tools appear to be very suitable for the cervical cancer diagnostic protocol, which recommends colposcopy in cases of an abnormal PAP smear and/or high-risk HPV and the collection of diagnostic tissue samples before initiating any potentially invasive treatment [ 138 ]. In response to this demand, a few notable studies were published on the use of AI in colposcopy for the detection of cervical cancer [ 69 , 70 , 71 , 72 , 73 , 77 , 79 , 137 , 138 , 139 , 140 , 141 , 142 , 143 , 144 , 145 , 146 , 147 , 148 , 149 , 150 , 151 , 152 , 153 , 154 , 155 , 156 ]. According to several investigations, the AI diagnostic approach could support or even potentially replace conventional colposcopy, permit more objective tissue specimen sampling, and reduce the number of cervical cancer cases in developing nations by offering an economical screening option in low-resource settings [ 137 , 141 ].…”
