Clinical Validation of an AI-based approach to improve the shared decision-making process and outcomes in Breast Cancer Patients proposed for Locoregional treatment

Treatment of breast cancer usually involves surgery that varies depending on the individual tumour, the size and shape of the breasts or personal wishes. Breast-conserving surgery and mastectomy with or without breast reconstruction or lymph node removal are among the available options. Additionally, radiotherapy can be applied to optimise locoregional control. However, there is currently no way of recapitulating the aesthetic outcome following locoregional treatments for breast cancer. The EU-funded CINDERELLA project proposes to create an easy-to-use application based on AI that uses a clinical database and performs picture and biometric matching to create images that simulate to the patient the outcome of surgery. The platform called CINDERELLA APProach will reinforce the role of the patient in clinical decision-making.
