Abstract
Artificial intelligence (AI) is rapidly reshaping cancer research and personalized clinical care. Availability of high-dimensionality datasets coupled with advances in high-performance computing, as well as innovative deep learning architectures, has led to an explosion of AI use in various aspects of oncology research. These applications range from detection and classification of cancer, to molecular characterization of tumors and their microenvironment, to drug discovery and repurposing, to predicting treatment outcomes for patients. As these advances start penetrating the clinic, we foresee a shifting paradigm in cancer care becoming strongly driven by AI. SIGNIFICANCE: AI has the potential to dramatically affect nearly all aspects of oncology-from enhancing diagnosis to personalizing treatment and discovering novel anticancer drugs. Here, we review the recent enormous progress in the application of AI to oncology, highlight limitations and pitfalls, and chart a path for adoption of AI in the cancer clinic.

Key Results and Findings
- Detection and Classification: AI models have shown increased accuracy in identifying and classifying different cancer types compared to traditional methods.
- Molecular Characterization: AI assists in analyzing tumor microenvironments and identifying molecular signatures, leading to better-targeted therapies.
- Drug Discovery: AI accelerates the identification of potential drug candidates and repurposing existing drugs for new therapeutic uses.
- Predicting Treatment Outcomes: Machine learning algorithms can predict patient responses to treatments, aiding in personalized medicine approaches.
Main Conclusions/Significance/Innovation
The review underscores that AI has the potential to revolutionize oncology by:
- Enhancing diagnostic accuracy and speed.
- Personalizing treatment plans based on individual patient data.
- Streamlining drug discovery processes, thereby reducing time and costs associated with bringing new therapies to market. The shift towards AI-driven cancer care could lead to more effective and tailored treatment strategies, improving patient outcomes.
Research Limitations and Future Directions
While the integration of AI in oncology is promising, several limitations and challenges remain:
- Data Quality and Availability: High-quality, diverse datasets are crucial for training robust AI models.
- Interpretability: Many AI algorithms operate as "black boxes," making it difficult for clinicians to understand decision-making processes.
- Regulatory and Ethical Considerations: There is a need for clear guidelines on the use of AI in clinical settings to ensure patient safety and ethical standards.
Future Directions:
- Development of standardized protocols for AI implementation in clinical practice.
- Enhancing transparency and interpretability of AI models.
- Conducting large-scale clinical trials to validate AI-driven approaches in diverse patient populations.
In summary, the review highlights the transformative potential of AI in oncology while also addressing the need for careful consideration of its limitations and ethical implications as it becomes more integrated into clinical practice.
