Abstract

For many years the idea of personalized medicine has toyed around. It is characterized as an innovative method to alter disease treatment and prevention that considers the differences in individuals’ genes and lifestyles. The purpose of precision medicine is to provide patient-specific treatments at the right time for quick and cost-effective recovery. While world technological advances provide the opportunity for many in medical science to access big data that no human brain can collate, the use of artificial intelligence (AI) may help improve cancer screening and diagnosis and planned treatment. In this chapter, although we will not cover all technologies already available for patient care, we highlight the progress made in using technology combined with liquid biopsy in precision oncology. We will also be discussing AI as a novel approach for exploring circulating cell-free nucleic acids (ccfNAs) in personalized clinical diagnosis and prognosis.
