Abstract

BACKGROUND: Precision medicine and artificial intelligence (AI) are increasingly integrated into colorectal cancer (CRC) care, offering personalised treatment strategies and data-driven decision support. While these technologies promise improved outcomes, they also raise challenges concerning clinical decision-making, the doctor-patient relationship, and ethics. This study explores physicians' perspectives on integrating precision medicine and AI in CRC care.
