Abstract

BACKGROUND: Decisions on the best available treatment in clinical oncology are based on expert opinions in multidisciplinary cancer conferences (MCC). Artificial intelligence (AI) could increase evidence-based treatment by generating additional treatment recommendations (TR). We aimed to develop such an AI system for urothelial carcinoma (UC) and renal cell carcinoma (RCC).
