Artificial Intelligence in Gynaecological Malignancies: Perspectives of a Clinical Oncologist

Gynecological malignancies are treated with a multi-disciplinary approach. There are two important factors, the stage and Karnofsky performance status scale (KPS) of patients, which guide the treatment strategy by single or multiple modalities in terms of surgery, radiotherapy, or chemotherapy.

Sumario:Gynecological malignancies are treated with a multi-disciplinary approach. There are two important factors, the stage and Karnofsky performance status scale (KPS) of patients, which guide the treatment strategy by single or multiple modalities in terms of surgery, radiotherapy, or chemotherapy. Various aspects are included in the workflow of gynecological malignancies, like screening, diagnosis in each individual, treatment modalities, and finally, follow-up to see for outcomes leading to the development of new research protocols. The quality data plays an important role in every step. Artificial Intelligence (AI) will play an important role if it is developed in the above-mentioned steps. AI is already established partially in every aspect of the management of gynecological cancer. It needs to be strengthened and incorporated further in a more robust form. This needs an association between clinicians, software engineers, and stakeholders. This article reviews the role of AI in various steps of the workflow of gynecological malignancies and discusses a few clinical aspects that may be researched to find solutions by AI.
