Conclusion: Artificial Intelligence in radiotherapy presents transformative opportunities to enhance treatment outcomes and clinical efficiency. [2] The results highlighted the need to integrate AI-specific education into undergraduate programs to address current training gaps. However, its effective integration into clinical practice requires targeted training programs for healthcare professionals also in postgraduate levels. A balanced approach that combines automation with human expertise is essential to fully harness AI’s potential while preserving the critical role of human oversight in patient care.
