Expert White Paper Urges AI, Validation, and Scalable Platforms for 3D Tech in Pediatric Cancer Surgery

Digital 3D modeling aids preoperative planning, multidisciplinary communication, and training in pediatric surgical oncology, but clinical outcome evidence is lacking. An expert white paper calls for progress through AI integration, multicenter validation, centralized digital tw…

• Current applications include preoperative planning, intraoperative guidance, patient education, and surgical training.
• Segmentation remains largely manual or semi-automated; AI-based auto-segmentation for pediatric tumors is emerging.
• Barriers to clinical translation include image quality, segmentation complexity, organ deformability, and insufficient outcome data.
