Abstract
Recently, a wide spectrum of artificial intelligence (AI)-based applications in the broader categories of digital pathology, biomarker development, and treatment have been explored. In the domain of digital pathology, these have included novel analytical strategies for realizing new information derived from standard histology to guide treatment selection and biomarker development to predict treatment selection and response. In therapeutics, these have included AI-driven drug target discovery, drug design and repurposing, combination regimen optimization, modulated dosing, and beyond. Given the continued advances that are emerging, it is important to develop workflows that seamlessly combine the various segments of AI innovation to comprehensively augment the diagnostic and interventional arsenal of the clinical oncology community. To overcome challenges that remain with regard to the ideation, validation, and deployment of AI in clinical oncology, recommendations toward bringing this workflow to fruition are also provided from clinical, engineering, implementation, and health care economics considerations. Ultimately, this work proposes frameworks that can potentially integrate these domains toward the sustainable adoption of practice-changing AI by the clinical oncology community to drive improved patient outcomes.
