Glioblastoma (GBM) is a common and deadly brain tumor with late diagnoses and poor prognoses. Machine learning (ML) is an emerging tool that can create highly accurate diagnostic and prognostic prediction models. This paper aimed to systematically search the literature on ML for GBM metabolism and assess recent advancements. A literature search was performed using predetermined search terms. Articles describing the use of an ML algorithm for GBM metabolism were included. Ten studies met the inclusion criteria for analysis: diagnostic (n = 3, 30%), prognostic (n = 6, 60%), or both (n = 1, 10%). Most studies analyzed data from multiple databases, while 50% (n = 5) included additional original samples. At least 2536 data samples were run through an ML algorithm. Twenty-seven ML algorithms were recorded with a mean of 2.8 algorithms per study. Algorithms were supervised (n = 24, 89%), unsupervised (n = 3, 11%), continuous (n = 19, 70%), or categorical (n = 8, 30%). The mean reported accuracy and AUC of ROC were 95.63% and 0.779, respectively. One hundred six metabolic markers were identified, but only EMP3 was reported in multiple studies. Many studies have identified potential biomarkers for GBM diagnosis and prognostication. These algorithms show promise; however, a consensus on even a handful of biomarkers has not yet been made
