Abstract

The rapid advancement of artificial intelligence (AI) has introduced transformative opportunities in oncology, enhancing the precision and efficiency of tumor diagnosis and treatment. This review examines recent advancements in AI applications across tumor imaging diagnostics, pathological analysis, and treatment optimization, with a particular focus on breast cancer, lung cancer, and liver cancer. By synthesizing findings from peer-reviewed studies published over the past decade, this paper analyzes the role of AI in enhancing diagnostic accuracy, streamlining therapeutic decision-making, and personalizing treatment strategies. Additionally, this paper addresses challenges related to AI integration into clinical workflows and regulatory compliance. As AI continues to evolve, its applications in oncology promise further improvements in patient outcomes, though additional research is needed to address its limitations and ensure ethical and effective deployment.

Keywords: artificial intelligence; image recognition; pathological diagnosis; precision medicine; therapy; tumor.
