Abstract

Abstract

Primary liver cancer is one of the most common and fatal malignant tumors, and surgical treatment is the most important radical treatment method, but there is still a high postoperative recurrence rate and poor prognosis. In recent years, emerging techniques represented by artificial intelligence have achieved rapid innovation and are gradually integrated into the whole process of the diagnosis and treatment of primary liver cancer. Promoting the implementation of artificial intelligence in the surgical treatment of primary liver cancer is of great significance to the high-quality development of precision liver surgery. At present, researchers have extensively explored the application of artificial intelligence in treatment decision-making, preoperative evaluation, surgical implementation, postoperative management, and adjuvant therapy for primary liver cancer. This article reviews the advances in the application of artificial intelligence in the surgical treatment of primary liver cancer, so as to accelerate the application of artificial intelligence in clinical diagnosis and treatment, improve clinical service ability, and ultimately improve patients' prognosis.
