A Review of Artificial Intelligence in Predicting Outcomes, Complications, and Survival Following Breast Cancer Surgery

Background: The topic of artificial Intelligence and its application in medicine has gained tremendous popularity, coinciding with advances in its technology. Breast cancer treatments vary, with surgery being one of them. In this review, we aim to evaluate artificial Intelligence’s ability to predict surgical outcomes, complications, and survival rates after breast cancer surgery by analyzing original research conducted over the last 5 years. Materials and Methods: A PubMed search was conducted by two authors from January 1, 2020, to April 13, 2025, using the keywords "Artificial Intelligence" and "Breast Surgery". After elimination, 14 of the 215 articles were full-text screened, and nine original articles were selected for inclusion in our review. Discussion: Artificial intelligence models and systems have had a significant impact on the medical field, and breast cancer surgery is no exception. Several original research studies have explored AI's ability to predict surgical outcomes and postoperative results. In this review, we focus on the postoperative aspects of breast cancer surgery and its application of artificial intelligence. Of the nine articles included in this paper, all reported multiple statistically significant results (p
