AI has a very broad application prospect in tumor treatment, which is mainly reflected in the following aspects:

Early and Precise Detection: AI can analyze imaging data such as CT and MRI, as well as data from blood biomarker tests and molecular diagnostics. It is capable of detecting extremely tiny tumor lesions, enabling early screening of cancer. For example, the CHIEF model developed by Harvard Medical School can diagnose 19 types of cancer, and the PANDA model developed by Alibaba DAMO Academy has an accuracy rate of 92.9% in determining pancreatic cancer lesions.

Multimodal Data Fusion Diagnosis: Integrate multimodal data such as imaging, pathology, and genomics for comprehensive analysis, providing more accurate diagnostic results and reducing the occurrence of missed diagnoses and misdiagnoses.

Recommendation of Personalized Treatment Plans: By analyzing multi-dimensional data such as patients' genetic characteristics, tumor biological properties, and medical history, AI can predict patients' responses to different treatment methods and customize the most suitable treatment plans for patients, such as combinations of immunotherapy, targeted therapy, or traditional radiotherapy and chemotherapy.

Surgical Plan Planning: Utilize AI technology to create three-dimensional models of tumors, assisting doctors in better understanding the location, size of the tumor, and its relationship with surrounding tissues, thereby formulating more precise surgical plans, improving the success rate and safety of surgery, and reducing the risk of complications.

Discovery of Drug Targets: AI can quickly analyze a large amount of biomedical data, including gene sequences and protein structures, to mine potential drug targets related to tumor occurrence and development, providing directions for new drug research and development.

Drug Design and Optimization: Based on the understanding of drug targets, AI can design new drug molecular structures or optimize existing drugs to improve the efficacy and safety of drugs. It can also simulate the metabolic process and pharmacodynamic response of drugs in the body, accelerating the drug research and development process.

Drug Repurposing: Re-evaluate marketed drugs to discover their potential anti-cancer effects and explore new indications for existing drugs, saving research and development time and costs.

Real-time Efficacy Monitoring: During the treatment process, AI continuously analyzes patients' imaging, physiological index and other data, evaluates the treatment effect in real time, and promptly detects the recurrence, metastasis of the tumor or adverse reactions to the treatment, helping doctors adjust the treatment plan in a timely manner.

Prognosis Prediction: By integrating various data of patients, AI models can predict patients' prognosis, such as survival time, recurrence risk, etc., providing patients and doctors with a more accurate expectation of the disease development, so as to make corresponding preparations and intervention measures in advance.

Intelligent Decision-making Support: Provide decision-making support for doctors, helping doctors quickly obtain the latest clinical research results, treatment guidelines, and treatment experiences of similar cases. Especially when facing complex conditions and rare tumors, it can assist doctors in making more scientific and reasonable treatment decisions.

Patient Management and Education: AI chatbots can provide patients with answers to tumor-related knowledge, precautions during the treatment process, rehabilitation guidance, etc., improving patients' awareness of the disease and self-management ability. At the same time, it can also reduce the burden on medical staff.
