Rebooting Cancer Care

Dr. Flora's 'Rebooting Cancer Care' is a timely and pragmatic exploration of AI's transformative potential in oncology. He moves beyond the hype to offer a clear-eyed view of how these powerful tools can enhance our ability to deliver high-quality, evidence-based care that, most importantly, is humanistic and patient-centered. This book is an important contribution to the ongoing dialogue - both within and beyond healthcare - about how we can best harness technology to improve the lives of our patients.

Dr. Douglas Flora is the rare trifecta—an accomplished cancer leader, a dynamic, compassion-first communicator, and a multi-cancer survivor whose lived experience sharpens his vision for how AI can truly humanize oncology. As Executive Medical Director and endowed chair at St. Elizabeth Healthcare's Yung Family Cancer Center, he has built programs that pair precision medicine with real-world care delivery; as Editor-in-Chief of AI in Precision Oncology (2025), he convenes a broad network of clinicians, scientists, policymakers, and technologists—and channels that "collective intelligence" into pragmatic advances from imaging and pathology AI to trial matching and MCED/MRD adoption. His survivor perspective is not a footnote but the through-line of his leadership—he writes and speaks openly about sitting in the waiting rooms himself, and it's why audiences consistently find him both passionate and deeply reassuring. On a personal note: Doug is a mentor and friend who has materially shaped my own voice in AI and oncology; his counsel—and the reach of his national network—has elevated my thought leadership and the impact of my work. If cancer is the boss battle, Doug is the teammate who brings the map, the med-kit, and—somehow—the Wi-Fi.
