Abstract:
Bladder cancer remains a significant health challenge. Early and accurate diagnoses are crucial for effective treatment and improved patient outcomes. In recent years, artificial intelligence (AI) has emerged as a powerful tool in the medical field, showing great promise in advancing the bladder cancer diagnosis. This review explores the current state and potential of AI technologies, including machine learning algorithms, deep learning networks, and computer vision, in enhancing the diagnostic process for bladder cancer. AI systems can analyze vast amounts of data from various sources, such as medical imaging, genomic data, and electronic health records, enabling the identification of subtle patterns and biomarkers that may indicate the presence of bladder cancer. These systems have demonstrated high accuracy in detecting cancerous lesions in imaging modalities such as cystoscopy, ultrasonography, and computed tomography scans, often surpassing human performance. Moreover, AI-driven diagnostic tools can assist in risk stratification, predicting disease progression, and personalizing treatment plans, thereby contributing to more targeted and effective therapies.
