The role of artificial intelligence in enhancing breast cancer screening and diagnosis: A review of current advances

Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: Breast cancer (BCA) remains the most prevalent cancer globally and the leading cause of cancer-related mortality among women, with rising incidence rates driven by genetic, lifestyle, and environmental factors. Early detection through precise screening is essential to improve prognosis and survival; yet, challenges persist, especially in resource-limited areas. Recent advances in Artificial Intelligence (AI), particularly machine learning and deep learning algorithms, have illustrated significant potential to enhance breast cancer screening, diagnosis, and treatment personalization. This review highlights the multifaceted role of AI in BCA management, encompassing its applications in image-based screening modalities, genomic and immunologic profiling, and drug discovery. AI-driven approaches offer diagnostic accuracy, cost-effectiveness, time-saving, and individualized treatment regimens. Despite promising developments, further research is crucial to overcome current challenges and regulatory hurdles in clinical settings. This article highlights the positive aspects of AI technologies in advancing BCA care and the importance of continued interdisciplinary research to optimize their implementations in breast cancer workflows.
