contents Deep learning has significantly advanced the potential for automated contouring in radiotherapy planning. In this manuscript, guided by contemporary literature, we underscore three key insights: (1) High-quality training data is essential for auto-contouring algorithms; (2) Auto-contouring models demonstrate commendable performance even with limited medical image data; (3) The quantitative performance of auto-contouring is reaching a plateau. Given these insights, we emphasize the need for the radiotherapy research community to embrace data-centric approaches to further foster clinical adoption of auto-contouring technologies.
