Verdict
While AI can assist with data analysis and treatment recommendations, the nuanced patient interactions and emotional support provided by oncologists remain irreplaceable. The profession faces moderate risk of AI substitution, particularly in technical areas, but core interpersonal skills are less likely to be automated.
