Towards clinical implementation of artificial intelligence in cancer care: Concept mapping analysis of provincial workshop findings

Stakeholders prioritize clinical benefits and efficiency gains over challenges and safeguards, with 8 key themes identified for AI implementation in cancer care.

• Why it matters: Understanding stakeholder perspectives is crucial for responsible and effective integration of evidence-based AI in cancer treatment, addressing existing gaps in the literature.
• What they did: A workshop with 48 participants generated 265 statements, which were analyzed through concept mapping to produce visual and quantitative maps of priorities, highlighting differences in importance and feasibility.
• The result: Findings suggest focusing on workflow-aligned AI applications for immediate implementation while addressing governance needs for long-term success, providing a stakeholder-informed blueprint for progress.
