“AI in Cancer Care: Can we replace the Mundane with the Humane?
Seven days from today, my book launches.
“Rebooting Cancer Care” goes live on November 3rd. Watching the Kindle presale link appear this morning? Surreal doesn’t quite capture it.
For those who’ve followed me here for a while, you know I love the quote “create what you wish existed.” This time I did exactly that. I wrote the book I wish had existed seven years ago when I first started studying AI in oncology—a clear-eyed guide through the noise, the hype, and the genuine transformation happening in our field.
Here’s what drives this work.
Every oncologist I know wrestles with the same question: How do we use artificial intelligence to lift the crushing weight of documentation and data overload so we can finally give patients what they need most – our full presence?
We’re at an inflection point. For decades, we’ve relied on cut, poison, burn. These treatments have saved countless lives, but cancer is evolving faster than our systems can adapt.
Our clinics are overwhelmed. Our physicians are burned out.
We need more than incremental improvements. We need a fundamental reboot.
This isn’t a technical manual.
It’s written for anyone who cares about the future of cancer care – oncologists and healthcare leaders, yes, but also patients and families navigating this journey, caregivers on the front lines, researchers pushing boundaries, and industry innovators building tomorrow’s solutions. If you’re curious about AI but unfamiliar with the details, this book offers clarity without the hype.
Inside, you’ll discover:
- How AI is transforming early detection, drug discovery, and treatment personalization
- The real potential of predictive models to anticipate resistance and design custom immunotherapies
- Most importantly: how this technology can give us back the time to practice truly compassionate, human-centered medicine
This is about a new era of leadership. One where we integrate AI thoughtfully and responsibly – not because it’s trendy, but because our patients deserve better.
The journey starts November 3rd.
If you’re ready to move past the buzzwords and understand what AI can realistically deliver for cancer care, join me.

If this resonates with you, I’d be deeply grateful if you’d share it with your network.
Let’s drive smarter, more human cancer care – together.”
