Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning in Cancer Research

Dear Colleagues,

In the near future, Artificial Intelligence and machine learning are poised to radically transform cancer care. Current research in the field of machine learning applied to oncology includes cancer screening through image analysis with deep learning, automated pathology and diagnosis, prognosis prediction and treatment personalization, drug discovery and automated treatment planning.

In this Special Issue, we invite teams working on applied AI to submit their latest and most significant research in this area. Beyond this, teams exploring interpretability and expert-augmented machine learning are invited to contribute to this new Special Issue. Studies describing new datasets and new methods are welcome. Datasets and code availability are strongly encouraged.
