As the number of people living with cancer rises sharply, there will be an enormous burden on care professionals and our health systems. We believe that digital innovations, including AI, will be key to facing this challenge.     "When you get a cancer diagnosis, every minute counts. But cancer is complex, treatment is complex. No two cancers are alike because no two patients are alike," says Ashley Smith, President of Multi-Disciplinary Oncology at Varian.     "AI is speeding up the cumbersome parts of the process. At every step along the way, it aims to increase efficiency and personalization. Our goal is to help clinicians provide the right treatment at the right time and to ultimately help create a world where people don’t have to fear cancer."

Thank you for sharing this, Ashley. The vision of leveraging AI to streamline the complexities of cancer treatment is truly inspiring. As our community look to scale the impact of AI, I believe focusing on assisting care team with the various jobs to be done across the oncology workflow can yield significant benefits. By enhancing efficiency and personalization at multiple stages, we can better support our clinicians in delivering timely and precise care to every patient, helping us move closer to a future where cancer as well as the care complexity is no longer feared.

It's also important to consider that a significant number of new cancer cases will occur in older adults, and we must adjust cancer treatments to meet their specific needs. As our population ages, tailoring treatments to the unique challenges faced by older patients will be crucial. By combining digital innovations and AI with a focus on the older population, we can ensure more effective and personalized care for all cancer patients.
