Abstract

Artificial intelligence (AI) has the potential to improve the surgical treatment of patients with head and neck cancer. AI algorithms can analyse a wide range of data, including images, voice, molecular expression and raw clinical data. In the field of oncology, there are numerous AI practical applications, including diagnostics and treatment. AI can also develop predictive models to assess prognosis, overall survival, the likelihood of occult metastases, risk of complications and hospital length of stay.
