Within this third volume dealing with brain and prostate cancer, the editors and authors detail the latest research related to the application of artificial intelligence (AI) to cancer diagnosis and prognosis and summarize its advantages. It is the intention of the editors and authors to explore how AI assists in these activities, specifically with regard to its unprecedented accuracy, which is even higher than that of general statistical applications in oncology. Ways will also be demonstrated as to how these methods in AI are advancing the field. There have been thousands of papers written between 1995 and to the best of our knowledge) there has not yet been published a comprehensive overview of the latest findings pertaining to these AI technologies, within a single book project. Therefore, the purpose of this three-volume work, and particularly for this third volume dealing with brain and prostate cancer, is to present a compendium of these findings related to these two pervasive cancers. Within this coverage it is our hope that scientists, researchers and clinicians can successfully incorporate these techniques into other significant cancers such as pancreatic, esophageal, leukemia, melanoma, etc.
