Revolutionizing breast cancer care: the synergy of AI-powered diagnostics, haptic-based biopsy simulators, and advanced surgical techniques

Abstract

BACKGROUND: In 2022, a report by the World Health Organization revealed 2.3 million new breast cancer cases and 670,000 related deaths, which represented 11.7% of all cancer cases worldwide. Early screening and biopsy for breast cancer can provide more effective and minimally invasive treatment options. As treatment options evolve, breast cancer surgery can ensure cure rate and aesthetics after surgery. AREAS COVERED: This review article examines the latest advancements in breast cancer care, highlighting the integration of artificial intelligence (AI) in diagnostics, the development of haptic-based breast biopsy simulators, and innovative surgical techniques. EXPERT OPINION: AI-driven diagnostic systems have significantly improved the accuracy and effectiveness of breast cancer screening with a precision comparable to that of experienced radiologists. Furthermore, haptic-based breast biopsy simulators are revolutionizing surgical training by providing practitioners with a realistic and safe environment to refine their biopsy techniques and breast surgery skills. Concurrently, advancements in surgical procedures, often augmented by AI and virtual reality (VR) simulations, are transforming breast cancer treatment, which facilitate the practice of complex surgical techniques, potentially resulting in more specialized and minimally invasive procedures. Collectively, these innovations are improving the screening, diagnosis, and surgical results for breast cancer patients.
