Abstract:
With artificial intelligence (AI) on the rise in healthcare, we investigated the acceptance and adoption of AI among cancer survivors who are seeking information. We searched 3 databases-PubMed, Scopus, and CINAHL for original research studies examining cancer survivors' acceptance and adoption of AI while seeking information. We screened 858 articles, resulting in the inclusion of 12 studies. Cancer survivors' perceived benefits of AI include diagnostic accuracy, improved healthcare access, and reduced healthcare costs. Concerns included the loss of human interaction, data loss, and privacy issues. Adoption and acceptance of AI-based Chatbots and cancer trial search tools were also demonstrated. Regarding the ethical use of AI, cancer survivors shared a desire for data de-identification, disclosure, and transparency. Cancer survivors accepted AI as an adjunct to physicians. Patients demonstrated acceptance and adoption of both AI-based educational tools and search engines. Developing AI models with better explainability and education can improve cancer survivors' acceptance and adoption of AI.

Cancer Therapies
However, cancer treatments can pose several challenges, as therapies used to kill cancer cells are generally also toxic to normal cells. Moreover, cancer cells mutate rapidly and can develop resistance to chemical agents or radiation therapy. Besides, all types of cancer cells may not respond to the same therapy. Some cancer cells respond to one...
