TY - JOUR T1 - Toward Scalable Federated Oncology Screening: A Multi-Layer Intelligence Architecture for Early Cancer Detection AU - Ali Hassan AU - Noor Siddiqui AU - Bilal Khan AU - Sana Malik JF - Journal of Artificial Intelligence for Healthcare Systems JO - J. Artif. Intell. Healthc. Syst. SN - 3149-8981 Y1 - 2025 VL - 4 IS - 2 SP - 39 N2 - The rapid evolution of artificial intelligence (AI) in healthcare has paved the way for sophisticated systems aimed at enhancing early cancer detection across distributed clinical environments. This conceptual manuscript introduces the multi-center early detection orchestration network (MEDON), a novel intelligence architecture designed to integrate AI-driven analytics within multi-center screening ecosystems. MEDON conceptualizes a layered framework that facilitates seamless data interoperability, real-time decision support, and governance mechanisms to mitigate risks in federated healthcare settings. Drawing from theoretical foundations in clinical AI architectures and healthcare informatics, the architecture emphasizes modular components for intelligence orchestration, including adaptive monitoring pipelines and federated learning constructs without empirical validation. Key elements include interoperability frameworks for electronic health records (EHRs) and imaging data exchange, alongside governance models to ensure ethical deployment. The manuscript explores theoretical implications for workflow integration in screening programs, highlighting potential enhancements in detection sensitivity through conceptual risk propagation models and decision confidence formulas. By synthesizing recent literature on AI system architectures in oncology, this work proposes a blueprint for scalable, resilient intelligence ecosystems that could transform multi-center cancer screening paradigms. Ultimately, MEDON offers a theoretical pathway toward more equitable and efficient early detection strategies, addressing challenges in data silos and regulatory compliance across diverse clinical sites.
