Abstract

Objectives
: To summarize significant research contributions on cancer informatics published in 2023, an extensive search using PubMed/MEDLINE was conducted to identify the scientific contributions published in 2023 that address topics in cancer. The selection process comprised three steps: (i) ten candidate best papers were first selected by the two section editors, (ii) external reviewers from internationally renowned research teams reviewed each candidate best paper, and (iii) the final selection of three best papers was conducted by the editorial board of the Yearbook.

Results
: The two selected papers demonstrate advances in the clinical implementation of cancer informatics methodologies. Both studies highlight translation of informatics methodologies to improve cancer outcomes.

Conclusions
: Cancer informatics is a maturing subfield of bioinformatics. As novel methodologies continue to emerge, further emphasis will be placed on rigorous clinical validation and real-world scalability of such solutions to positively impact patient outcomes.
