Abstract

Abstract: The early diagnosis of cancer is conducive to the subsequent clinical management of patients. Artificial intelligenceAI has been widely used in the medical field, improving the accuracy and efficiency of disease diagnosis. This paper summarized the relevant studies on AI in the diagnosis and screening of oral cancer from three aspects: overview of AI in the early diagnosis of oral cancer, application status of commonly used AI types, and personal outlook, aiming to provide a new perspective for the application of early diagnosis of oral cancer, further help medical workers improve medical decision-making rate, and provide references for the early diagnosis and treatment of oral cancer.

Key words: Artificial intelligence, Oral cancer, Early diagnosis, Medical decision
