Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Artificial intelligence (AI) is not new, having been introduced in the 1950s. Recent advances in computational power, algorithms, and data storage have significantly enhanced its application in various fields, including medicine and health. AI's ability to process and analyze vast amounts of data is transforming healthcare, particularly cancer research and patient care. AI-powered diagnostic tools can detect the early signs of cancer from medical imaging with remarkable precision, reducing human error and expediting diagnosis to achieve timely intervention. AI tools can identify mutations and biomarkers to enhance diagnosis and predict treatment responses.
However, it is essential to understand AI's limitations and address ethical considerations to ensure that these technologies benefit all patients. Understanding AI's impact and ensuring that it is used responsibly is crucial for advancing cancer research and patient care.
This Special Issue aims to highlight advances in the application of AI, providing insights into the transformative potential of AI in cancer research and patient care. The scope of this Special Issue includes methodological and technical advances, innovative applications, case studies of AI in action, ethical considerations, challenges, and solutions regarding the utilization of AI technology in cancer.
