Abstract

INTRODUCTION: Determining the ideal surgical strategy for breast pathologies can sometimes be challenging, in particular if personalized solutions are required. Moreover, acquiring the necessary expertise takes years. Artificial intelligence (AI) may help streamline decision-making and improve treatment approaches. This study assessed the potential role of AI in therapeutic planning for common breast pathologies.
