The introduction of low-dose CT is expected to make a significant impact on lung cancer screening, but the coverage of programmes remains an issue. AI implementation could help establishing these efforts by improving efficiency and reducing screening times and costs. However, this technology comes with its own set of challenges, such as sustainability. In this issue, we also explore surgical approaches to sterilization, new insights into breast cancer radiotherapy, and much more. Enjoy reading!
