Accelerating Breast Cancer Treatment Planning with Agentic AI: Recent Advances and Implementations (2025)

Agentic AI leverages autonomous, adaptive multi-agent systems to automate and accelerate the consolidation, analysis, and summarization of patient records, imaging, and clinical guidelines for breast cancer treatment planning159.

Recent implementations utilize a central orchestrator agent to coordinate sub-agents responsible for data extraction, clinical guideline retrieval, and patient history synthesis, enabling more personalized and evidence-based treatment recommendations1.

Healthcare platforms such as AWS integrate agentic AI with services like HealthImaging and HealthLake. The system pulls real-time data from multiple sources and uses managed AI tools like Amazon Bedrock, increasing workflow flexibility and efficiency with asynchronous, context-driven task delegation1.

Microsoft and Oxford University have launched pilot programs where agentic AI agents automate patient chart summarization, cancer staging, and draft guideline-compliant treatment plans, with oversight provided by human oncologists through collaborative interfaces (e.g., Microsoft Teams, tumor boards)3.

The human-in-the-loop model remains central:
AI systems perform data-intensive tasks and generate recommendations, while oncologists retain final decision authority, ensuring that clinical judgment and individualized patient considerations govern treatment plans13.

Agentic AI solutions target reduction of administrative burden, faster transition from diagnosis to actionable plans, improved consistency in guideline adherence, and enhanced clinical decision-making in breast cancer care settings1359.

Ongoing pilot deployments (Oxford University Hospitals start Q1 2026) and broader adoption in industry signal that such multi-agent AI systems are rapidly moving from the laboratory into real-world practice, with early results suggesting improved speed and reliability in breast cancer treatment planning3.
