Establishing Artificial Intelligence-Powered Virtual Tumor Board Meetings in Pakistan
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.
