AI for Oncology conference - Milan, May 7-8th 2025
This course provides a comprehensive overview of how artificial intelligence (AI) is being applied in oncology across clinical care, diagnostics, research, and decision support. It is based on recorded lectures and presentations delivered by leading clinicians, data scientists, and researchers during the 3rd AI for Oncology conference held in Milan in May 2025.
Participants will gain exposure to current use cases, limitations, and methodologies in areas such as radiomics, digital pathology, predictive modeling, real-world data integration, and AI-supported clinical trials. Emphasis is placed on the practical aspects of implementing AI in cancer care, including the design of multimodal models, validation strategies, regulatory considerations, and patient-centered decision tools.
Topics are organized into thematic sessions covering
- Data-driven models and real-world datasets in oncology
- AI applications in radiology, pathology, and imaging diagnostics
- Multimodal and multiomic data integration
- Clinical trial design, biomarker discovery, and treatment response prediction using AI
- Ethical, regulatory, and communication aspects of AI in healthcare
The course is aimed at medical professionals, researchers, data scientists, and others involved in oncology or biomedical innovation who seek to understand current AI practices in the field.
Format
- Self-paced video modules from conference presentations
- Approx. 12 hours of recorded content
- Speaker bios included
- No live instruction or assignments
No formal prerequisites, though familiarity with oncology, clinical research, or data science is recommended for full benefit.
