Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
In recent years, many advancements have been made in artificial intelligence (AI)-based research and applications for breast cancer prevention, screening, diagnosis, treatment, survival, and prognosis. This Special Issue of Current Oncology focuses on the diverse applications of AI in breast cancer, covering developments in methodology, evaluation, and research appraisal instigated by breakthroughs in the field.
We welcome submissions (original research articles, reviews, and innovative methodologies) that demonstrate how recent advances in AI are revolutionizing breast cancer research and management, with the potential to improve care for breast cancer patients. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Designing and validating novel multimodal diagnostic, predictive, or prognostic AI models;
- The generation and curation of research-ready datasets for breast cancer using AI;
- Improving the performance of AI models in external validations;
- Appraising the breast cancer research literature utilizing AI;
- The benchmarking and comparison of AI models for assistive tasks pertaining to breast cancer care and management in retrospective or prospective studies;
- Generative AI applications in breast cancer;
- Explainable AI (XAI) methodologies for breast cancer AI models;
- Literature reviews (e.g., systematic reviews, scoping reviews, surveys) at the intersection of AI and breast cancer.
We look forward to receiving your contributions.
