About this episode

Chinmay Jani, MD discusses the integration of artificial intelligence in thoracic oncology and ongoing research initiatives at the University of Miami.

In a special edition of Oncology On the Go, Chinmay Jani, MD, joined CancerNetwork® in the studio to speak about different research initiatives he is involved with across precision oncology. He discussed ongoing work dedicated to validating and applying artificial intelligence (AI)–based tools in clinical work as well as overcoming immunotherapy resistance among patients with lung cancer. Jani, chief fellow in Hematology and Oncology at University of Miami Sylvester Comprehensive Cancer Center, first detailed findings from a study he presented at the 2026 American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) Annual Meeting evaluating AI decision support in the context of EGFR- mutated non–small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Although AI systems aligned with expert decision-making in frontline treatment, significant divergence was observed in second-line care, highlighting a need for more rigorous validation and clinical safeguards when integrating AI into oncologic decision-making.
