Core Tip

Core tip: Artificial intelligence (AI) emerged in the field of cancer research as a new and promising discipline to improve the management of patients with cancer, including more accurate and fastest diagnosis to facilitate the therapeutic decision. AI models are mainly fueled by multi omics data. Integrating omics data and clinical data of patients represents a challenging but fascinating task.
