Extraordinary development of Artificial intelligences (AI) in algorithms, operational capacity, and digital data processing has greatly accelerated the application researches of novel AI technologies in multiple episodes of clinical practice in recent years. As the major burden of human being worldwide, cancer are still great challenges in screening, diagnosis, and individualized treatments. AI has brought great opportunities in the whole processes of cancer patient care. However, whether these innovations can benefit patient care and patient’s outcome in real-world clinical practice still need profound and careful evaluations, and it is essential to integrate data-driven and computer-based innovations in clinical practice to improve therapeutic outcomes of cancer patients. The special issue focuses on AI application in precise oncology, aiming to demonstrate the progresses of AI technologies and the associated applications in a broad array of cancer care, e.g., early detection, precise diagnosis, individualized treatments, and prognosis prediction.
