Abstract

Introduction: cancer is the rapid multiplication of abnormal cells that spread beyond their usual limits and can invade adjacent parts of the body or spread to other organs, in a process called metastasis. The spread of metastases is the main cause of death from the disease. There are different methods of cancer diagnosis, but in this research we will focus on molecular and imaging methods. Objective: to analyze advances in molecular and imaging diagnosis of cancer. Methods: analysis of original articles and bibliographic reviews previously carried out that provided information on the advances in molecular and imaging diagnosis of cancer, in addition, the search for information in different databases such as Scielo, Elsevier, PubMed, Chrocane, Epistemonikos, and different journals including Seimic, Medigraphic Artemisa, Recimundo, SCIENCE, MEDICRIT was prioritized. Development: the importance of an integral diagnostic approach is emphasized, considering the high lethality rate of this disease. Diagnosis will focus on the various imaging techniques and biomolecular studies adopted to prevent and diagnose this disease, and the use of artificial intelligence for early diagnosis of these entities is also addressed.Conclusions: advances in molecular and imaging diagnosis of cancer are marking a significant milestone in the quest for more efficient and earlier detection of this disease.
