We are at a transformational period in oncology; the overall mortality from cancer is gradually declining in the United States.
This is attributable to approaches towards prevention, earlier detection, and better treatment options. Precision approaches have improved outcomes even for several malignancies that present at an advanced stage of the disease.
The ability to incorporate AI across all aspects of cancer care and research will accelerate the pace of innovation.
We will explore how AI-powered tools enable prevention, cancer screening, diagnosis, therapy and clinical trials. Real-time analysis of complex genomic, multi-omics, and clinical data are driving personalized treatment strategies such as biomarker-based therapies and adaptive clinical trial designs.
Additionally, we will showcase AI’s role in improving diagnostic accuracy through enhanced imaging analysis, automated pathology reviews, and predictive models for patient risk stratification.
By integrating AI within translational research and precision oncology workflows, we aim to accelerate discoveries, enhance diagnostics, streamline clinical decision-making, and ultimately improve survival outcomes for patients with cancer. The potential of AI to accelerate patient matching and accrual to clinical trials will be another key feature of the meeting.
This summit provides actionable insights into the next frontier of AI-enabled precision medicine, emphasizing its transformative potential in improving cancer-related mortality worldwide. The sessions will focus on cutting-edge advances in leveraging AI-driven approaches to enhance cancer screening, molecular profiling, treatment decision-making, and patient outcome prediction.

In keeping with the focus of the conference, Ci4CC is proud to launch its latest national initiative—the Health Universe AI Collaborative—at this year’s Summit. This groundbreaking effort brings together leaders from cancer centers, life sciences, and technology to co-develop modular, AI-driven tools and workflows aimed at transforming cancer research, clinical trials, and precision care. The initiative will kick off with a real-world clinical data Hackathon at the conference, powered by ChatGPT and Health Universe, and a national virtual hackathon, showcasing practical applications of AI in oncology.
Advancements in cancer research and clinical care are never achieved in isolation. That is why fostering collaborative networks is fundamental to our Initiatives Program and central to the Societies Mission.
