The Potential of Big Data and Machine Learning for Oncology

AACR Virtual Patient Advocate Forum

The Potential of Big Data, Machine Learning (ML), and Artificial Intelligence (AI) for Oncology

October 12, 2021

VIRTUAL

Data science and machine learning promise to revolutionize cancer treatments. But the role of patients has yet to be clearly defined in this new world of large data sets and real-world evidence. This Patient Advocate Forum explored how scientists are translating data into clinically relevant knowledge, discussed the role of patients in these efforts, and highlighted the opportunities for using big data to advance cancer care.
