Abstract
Equitable cancer care in low- and middle-income countries is crucial as mortality rates continue to rise. Artificial intelligence (AI)-powered Virtual Tumor Board Meetings (VTBMs) offer an innovative solution that facilitates real-time collaboration between experts to improve patient outcomes. By integrating AI-powered tools, VTBMs can improve diagnostic accuracy and personalize treatment plans using various data sources such as medical images and genomic profiles. In Pakistan, with limited healthcare resources and a high economic burden, the introduction of AI-powered VTBMs has the potential to revolutionize cancer care. This strategic approach will not only address the current challenges in Pakistan, but also serve as a model for improving cancer care in various developing countries.
期刊介绍：
Cancer Control is a JCR-ranked, peer-reviewed open access journal whose mission is to advance the prevention, detection, diagnosis, treatment, and palliative care of cancer by enabling researchers, doctors, policymakers, and other healthcare professionals to freely share research along the cancer control continuum. Our vision is a world where gold-standard cancer care is the norm, not the exception.
