From Hype To Reality: A Narrative Review on the Promising Role of Artificial Intelligence in Larynx Cancer Detection and Transoral Microsurgery.

ABSTRACT

Early larynx cancer detection plays a crucial role in improving treatment outcomes and recent studies have shown promising results in using artificial intelligence for larynx cancer detection. Artificial intelligence also has the potential to enhance transoral larynx microsurgery. This narrative review summarizes the current evidence regarding its use in larynx cancer detection and potential applications in transoral larynx microsurgery. The utilization of artificial intelligence in larynx cancer detection with white light endoscopy and narrow-band imaging helps improve diagnostic accuracy and efficiency. It can also potentially enhance transoral larynx microsurgery by aiding surgeons in real-time decision-making and minimizing the risk of complications. However, further prospective studies are warranted to validate the findings, and additional research is necessary to optimize the integration of artificial intelligence in our clinical practice.
