Breast cancer is the most commonly diagnosed cancer worldwide, and its burden has been rising over the past decades. A significant advance in healthcare is the integration of Clinical Decision Support Systems (CDSSs) into medical practice, which support healthcare professionals improving clinical decisions, leading to recommended patient-specific treatments and enhanced patient care. Breast cancer CDSSs are thus currently expanding, whether applied to screening, diagnostic, therapeutic or follow-up tasks. We conducted a scoping review to study their availability and use in practice. Except risk calculators, very few CDSSs are currently routinely used.
