Abstract

The aim of this chapter is to establish a psychological connection with the reader, for her/him to truly understand the vast implication of cancer in a person’s life, whether her/his own health is involved, or a loved one’s. Dealing with cancer implies physical, psychological, and financial issues. At first, we shall take a walk down history lane and see how cancer was seen in the past, followed by a recap from nowadays. A statistical analysis handbook that needs to be performed anytime we are dealing with new clinical trials, new drugs, new oncological surgeries, new AI algorithms, is presented also. Last, but not least, we shall paint a glimpse of the future, in which a trusted friend, Artificial Intelligence, steps in to lend us a helping hand.
