Abstract: We have read with great interest the work of Korreman S. et al. regarding the use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in the field of radiation oncology [1]. In our opinion, the main task of a radiation oncologist is to clinically evaluate patients for the best course of radiation and to carry out the treatment regimen with high precision. The radiation oncologist aims to offer treatment with the very latest technology and scientific excellence, but that also needs to be personalized and humane, the combination of technology and human attention is the ideal. Radiation oncologists are medical doctors with clinical and technical knowledge, as well as having a holistic vision. They sit on multidisciplinary health care committees and actively participate in all the decision-making necessary for cancer care, in diagnosis, treatment, follow-up, and prevention.
