Artificial Intelligence for Clinical Oncology

In a new perspective piece “Artificial Intelligence for Clinical Oncology” published in the journal Cancer Cell, we describe our view on how AI will transform clinical oncology.

In the perspective, we propose a pathway of clinical cancer care touchpoints for narrow-task AI applications and review a selection of applications. Furthermore, we describe the challenges faced in the clinical translation of AI and propose solutions, and suggest paths forward in weaving AI into individualized patient care, with an emphasis on clinical validity, utility, and usability. By illuminating these issues in the context of current AI applications for clinical oncology, we hope to help advance meaningful investigations that will ultimately translate to real-world clinical use.
