We are in the era of large-scale science. In oncology there is a huge number of data sets grouping information on cancer genomes, transcriptomes, clinical data, and more. The challenge of big data in cancer is to integrate all this diversity of data collected into a unique platform that can be analyzed, leading to the generation of readable files. The possibility of harnessing information from all the accumulated data leads to an improvement in cancer patient treatment and outcome. Solving the big data problem in oncology has multiple facets. Big data in Oncology: Impact, Challenges, and Risk Assessment brings together insights from emerging sophisticated information and communication technologies such as artificial intelligence, data science, and big data analytics for cancer management. This book focuses on targeted disease treatment using big data analytics. It provides information about targeted treatment in oncology, challenges and application of big data in cancer therapy. Recent developments in the fields of artificial intelligence, machine learning, medical imaging, personalized medicine, computing and data analytics for improved patient care. Description of the application of big data with AI to discover new targeting points for cancer treatment. Summary of several risk assessments in the field of oncology using big data. Focus on prediction of doses in oncology using big data The most targeted or relevant audience is academics, research scholars, health care professionals, hospital management, pharmaceutical chemists, the biomedical industry, software engineers and IT professionals.

This book highlights the use of artificial intelligence (AI), big data and precision oncology for medical decision making in cancer screening, diagnosis, prognosis and treatment. Precision oncology has long been thought of as ideal for the management and treatment of cancer. This strategy promises to revolutionize the treatment, control, and prevention of cancer by tailoring tests, treatments and predictions to specific individuals or population groups. In order to accomplish these goals, vast amounts of patient or population group specific data needs to be integrated and analysed to be able to identify key patterns or features which can be used to define or characterize the disease or the response to the disease in these individuals. These patterns or features can be as varied as molecular patterns or features in medical images. This level of data analysis and integration can only be achieved through the use of AI. The book is divided into three parts starting with a section on the use of artificial intelligence for screening, diagnosis and monitoring in precision oncology. The second part: Artificial intelligence and Omics in precision oncology, highlights the use of AI and epigenetics, metabolomics, microbiomics in precision oncology. The third part covers artificial intelligence in cancer therapy and its clinical applications. It also highlights the use of AI tools for risk prediction, early detection, diagnosis and accurate prognosis. This book, written by experts in the field from academia and industry, will appeal to cancer researchers, clinical oncologists, pathologists, medical students, academic teaching staff and medical residents interested in cancer research as well as those specialising as clinical oncologists.

Precision Public Health is a new and rapidly evolving field, that examines the application of new technologies to public health policy and practice. It draws on a broad range of disciplines including genomics, spatial data, data linkage, epidemiology, health informatics, big data, predictive analytics and communications. The hope is that these new technologies will strengthen preventive health, improve access to health care, and reach disadvantaged populations in all areas of the world. But what are the downsides and what are the risks, and how can we ensure the benefits flow to those population groups most in need, rather than simply to those individuals who can afford to pay? This is the first collection of theoretical frameworks, analyses of empirical data, and case studies to be assembled on this topic, published to stimulate debate and promote collaborative work.
