Ltd.10.26689/par.v8i5.7082ArticleExploring the Pivotal Association of AI in Cancer Stem Cells Detection and Treatmenthttps://artdesignp.com/journal/PAR/8/5/10.26689/par.v8i5.7082AbubakarMuhammad2024852024-09-25Cancer stem cells (CSCs), or tumor-initiating cells (TICs), are cancerous cell subpopulations that remain while tumor cells propagate as a unique subset and exhibit multiple applications in several diseases. They are responsible for cancer cell initiation, development, metastasis, proliferation, and recurrence due to their self-renewal and differentiation abilities in many kinds of cells. Artificial intelligence (AI) has gained significant attention because of its vast applications in various fields including agriculture, healthcare, transportation, and robotics, particularly in detecting human diseases such as cancer. The division and metastasis of cancerous cells are not easy to identify at early stages due to their uncontrolled situations. It has provided some real-time pictures of cancer progression and relapse. The purpose of this review paper is to explore new investigations into the role of AI in cancer stem cell progression and metastasis and in regenerative medicines. It describes the association of machine learning and AI with CSCs along with its numerous applications from cancer diagnosis to therapy. This review has also provided key challenges and future directions of AI in cancer stem cell research diagnosis and therapeutic approach.
