Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Artificial intelligence (AI) holds the potential to play a leading role in healthcare. To date, AI-based technology has revolutionized the diagnosis and management of cancer. Indeed, such advanced models can actually help enhance the accuracy of diagnosis for thyroid, thoracic and gastrointestinal malignancies. Apart from the fact that this novel technology can be used as a valuable tool to assist in identifying cancer earlier, it can also direct the evolution of medical imaging technology. Interestingly, AI software is particularly helpful in the treatment of these malignancies. Recently, great attention has been paid to AI applications that contribute significantly to early cancer detection and management. This Special Issue aims to highlight the role of integrating AI algorithms in clinical practice to improve diagnostic accuracy and achieve better intra- and postoperative patient outcomes. We welcome original research articles and review papers that provide insights into the emerging field of AI with advanced applications in cancer diagnosis and treatment, giving particular emphasis to thyroid, thoracic and gastrointestinal cancers. We look forward to receiving your contributions.
