The prostate cancer remains one of the most diagnosed in humans in Morocco, representing a major public health issue. Its management, in particular via the radiotherapyrequires heavy infrastructure, advanced equipment and highly qualified staff. In a country where demand grows faster than the means available, the introduction of AI could offer a decisive lever to improve the efficiency of treatments.
The determining intake of the AI in radiotherapy
According to the authors, artificial intelligence opens the way to several key advances in the treatment of prostate cancer:
- Optimized processing planning: thanks to automatic learning, AI allows you to quickly generate personalized radiotherapy plans, reducing the time and variability linked to manual work.
- Improvement of precision: AI algorithms can identify the contours of the tumor and healthy tissues with greater accuracy, thereby minimizing the risk of sequelae for patients.
- Save medical time: by automating certain repetitive tasks, AI releases radiotherapists and medical physicists to focus on more complex aspects of management.
The study published on Frontiers in Medicine emphasizes that the integration of AI into radiotherapy could play a crucial role in the democratization of access to care. In regions where specialists are rare, these tools could reduce inequality and allow patients to access high -level therapeutic standards.
Challenges and perspectives in Morocco
If AI promises are undeniable, the authors also recall the challenges to be overcome:
- Technological infrastructure still insufficient to accommodate and run advanced AI solutions.
- Training of medical staff, essential to support the transition and make the most of these new tools.
- Ethical and regulatory framework to be defined, to guarantee secure use and responsible for health AI.
For Moroccan researchers, the progressive introduction of AI into prostate cancer radiotherapy is not only a technical evolution: it represents an opportunity for profound transformation for the national health system. It could make it possible to better meet growing demand, while improving the quality of care and strengthening the country’s medical sovereignty.
