AI, Volume 7, Issue 1

2026 January - 36 articles

Cover Story: Cancer care is increasingly challenged by the growing volume and complexity of clinical, imaging, and molecular data. Artificial intelligence (AI) has emerged as a powerful tool capable of integrating radiological, histopathological, genomic, and clinical information to support more precise diagnostics, risk assessment, and prognostics, as well as optimal treatment. Recent advances in machine learning and deep learning have demonstrated strong performance across key oncological domains, including tumor detection, molecular classification, risk stratification, radiotherapy planning, and drug discovery. This paper reviews the current clinical and translational applications of AI in precision oncology, highlighting its potential to complement clinical expertise while addressing existing technical, ethical, and regulatory challenges. View this paper
