Abstract
Cancer is a deadly and aggressive disease with an abominably low median
survival rate. Treatment of the disease is an economic burden long owing to its high
recurrence and mortality rates. Metastasis of cancer is one of the reasons for treatment
failures, as these metastatic cells are resistant to all types of conventional treatments.
Thus early and accurate diagnosis of metastasis is essential to design the course of the
treatment regime. Evolutions in statistics and computer engineering over the past
decade have encouraged researchers to implement computational methods to analyze
the stage and advancement of the disease with precision and accuracy. Furthermore,
artificial intelligence (AI), especially machine learning and deep learning, has been
implicitly used in medical sectors, including clinical cancer research, in recent years.
This article reviews the application of AI to detect cancer metastasis and
comprehensively summarizes its advantages.
Keywords: AI, AI models, Cancer managements, Cancer metastasis.
