Oncology Data Advisor is excited to be launching our new podcast series, "Exploring Artificial Intelligence in Oncology." Hosted by Waqas Haque, MD, MPH, Member of the Oncology Data Advisor Fellows Forum, this series will delve into the burgeoning roles and uses of AI in cancer care, from pathology to toxicity risk prediction to treatment recommendations and beyond.

Exploring Artificial Intelligence in Oncology

In this first episode of Oncology Data Advisor’s new podcast series, “Exploring Artificial Intelligence in Cancer Care,” Dr. Waqas Haque and Dr. Matthew Hadfield of the OncData Fellows Forum engage in a discussion with Dr. Ofer Sharon, CEO of OncoHost. Dr. Sharon provides an overview of the clinical need for increased knowledge of patients’ probabilities of developing immune-related adverse events and explains the PROphet® platform, OncoHost’s novel plasma-based, proteomic pattern analysis tool that uses a single blood sample to guide immunotherapy treatment decisions.
