ABSTRACT

Artificial intelligence (AI) is revolutionizing various sectors, including healthcare, with significant advancements in early cancer detection. Traditional methods like biopsy and imaging, though widely used, have limitations in sensitivity and invasiveness. AI, with its ability to analyze vast datasets and identify complex patterns, offers new opportunities to enhance early diagnosis accuracy. This paper discusses AI techniques, including machine learning and deep learning, applied to cancer detection, highlighting their advantages, challenges, and potential. It also explores AI-driven case studies demonstrating significant improvements in screening accuracy and patient outcomes. The paper concludes by emphasizing the future role of AI in transforming cancer diagnostics and improving survival rates.

Keywords: Artificial intelligence, early cancer detection, machine learning, deep learning, cancer diagnostics.
