Leveraging Large Language Models for Precision Monitoring of Chemotherapy-Induced Toxicities: A Pilot Study with Expert Comparisons and Future Directions

O. R. Sarrias, M. P. M. D. Prado, et al.

This study evaluated the capacity of Large Language Models to classify chemotherapy toxicities, finding them to match the accuracy of expert oncologists in general toxicity ratings. The authors highlight the potential of LLMs for improving patient monitoring while alleviating the burden on medical professionals. The research was conducted by Oskitz Ruiz Sarrias and colleagues.

Abstract
This study evaluated the ability of Large Language Models (LLMs) to classify subjective toxicities from chemotherapy by comparing them with expert oncologists. Using fictitious cases, it was demonstrated that LLMs can achieve accuracy similar to that of oncologists in general toxicity categories, although they need improvement in specific categories. LLMs show great potential for enhancing patient monitoring and reducing the workload of doctors. Future research should focus on training LLMs specifically for medical tasks and validating these findings with real patients, always ensuring accuracy and ethical data management.
