Adopting Machine Learning Auto-Segmentation Into Radiotherapy Workflow
Madam — We thank Harrison et al. [] for distilling the advances and challenges of machine learning approaches to radiotherapy auto-segmentation. The radiotherapy workforce and oncology services remain highly stretched in the UK, with predicted shortfalls in the future. The potential of artificial intelligence to mitigate this via radiotherapy auto-segmentation is immense, but is rapidly evolving in development [] and remains nascent clinical adoption [].

This approach towards adopting non-face-to-face contact with patients on systemic anticancer treatment is prescient in view of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. Innovative digital health models help to mitigate the risks of transmission [].
