Aim: Records have been reported on the inflicting attributes of cancer in society and how early detection is necessary for preventive measure and as a proactive step. The use of Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) has been proved as an effective and proficient diagnostic method for the early detection of cancer. This paper is an eye-opener for future researchers willing to investigate the use of magnetic resonance imaging in early detection of cancer. It critically discusses the present and prospective challenges in this area. Objectives: In this paper, historical records of cancer and the application of MRI in the early detection of cancer are presented. The mechanism of MRI operation together with comprehensive concepts behind its application for early cancer detection are also presented. Recent challenges regarding the subject matter are presented for the benefits of future researchers. Methodology: Literature review on recent studies conducted between 2009 and 2024 on using MRI for early cancer detection was discussed revealing the objectives, methodologies, results and conclusions from various studies. Conclusions: Several limitations and constraints from previous studies and those perceived are presented in this paper for future consideration of research studies in this area. In conclusion, twenty research limitations are stated therein which are gaps that should be bridged by future researchers.
