Several types of DSS are commonly employed in cancer care, including:
Clinical Decision Support Systems (CDSS): These systems offer treatment recommendations based on clinical guidelines and patient data. Diagnostic Decision Support Systems: These help in accurately diagnosing cancer by analyzing imaging data, biopsy results, and other diagnostic tests. Prognostic Decision Support Systems: These predict the likely course and outcome of the disease, assisting in treatment planning and patient counseling. Therapeutic Decision Support Systems: These recommend specific therapies, including drug regimens and radiation therapy protocols, tailored to the individual patient.
