Last keynote at #MathOnco25 by Sarah Bruningk talking about #AI in #Medicine. While generally optimistic about AI in medicine she is aware of the challenge that AI works best when there is a lot of data and that is almost never the case in clinical oncology

Joel Brown at #MathOnco25 draws parallels between the evolution and ecology of cancer and of dogs, elephant shrews and (of course) squirrels. Cancer redefined as "a disease of uncontrolled proliferation by transformed cells subject to evolution by natural selection". aacrjournals.org/mcr/article/...
