A great wealth of information is hidden amid medical research data that in some
cases cannot be easily analyzed, if at all, using classical statistical methods.
Inspired by nature, metaheuristic algorithms have been developed to offer optimal
or near-optimal solutions to complex data analysis and decision-making tasks in a
reasonable time. Due to their powerful features, metaheuristic algorithms have
frequently been used in other fields of sciences. In medicine, however, the use
of these algorithms are not known by physicians who may well benefit by applying
them to solve complex medical problems. Therefore, in this paper, we introduce
the genetic algorithm and its applications in medicine. The use of the genetic
algorithm has promising implications in various medical specialties including
radiology, radiotherapy, oncology, pediatrics, cardiology, endocrinology,
surgery, obstetrics and gynecology, pulmonology, infectious diseases,
orthopedics, rehabilitation medicine, neurology, pharmacotherapy, and health care
management. This review introduces the applications of the genetic algorithm in
disease screening, diagnosis, treatment planning, pharmacovigilance, prognosis,
and health care management, and enables physicians to envision possible
applications of this metaheuristic method in their medical career.].
