Abstract
Purpose of review: This study aims to systematically review the trajectory of artificial intelligence (AI) development in the medical field, with a particular emphasis on ChatGPT, a cutting-edge tool that is transforming oncology's diagnosis and treatment practices.
Recent findings: Recent advancements have demonstrated that ChatGPT can be effectively utilized in various areas, including collecting medical histories, conducting radiological & pathological diagnoses, generating electronic medical record (EMR), providing nutritional support, participating in Multidisciplinary Team (MDT) and formulating personalized, multidisciplinary treatment plans. However, some significant challenges related to data privacy and legal issues that need to be addressed for the safe and effective integration of ChatGPT into clinical practice. ChatGPT, an emerging AI technology, opens up new avenues and viewpoints for oncology diagnosis and treatment. If current technological and legal challenges can be overcome, ChatGPT is expected to play a more significant role in oncology diagnosis and treatment in the future, providing better treatment options and improving the quality of medical services.
期刊介绍:
This journal aims to review the most important, recently published clinical findings in the field of oncology. By providing clear, insightful, balanced contributions by international experts, the journal intends to serve all those involved in the care of those affected by cancer.
We accomplish this aim by appointing international authorities to serve as Section Editors in key subject areas, such as cancer prevention, leukemia, melanoma, neuro-oncology, and palliative medicine. Section Editors, in turn, select topics for which leading experts contribute comprehensive review articles that emphasize new developments and recently published papers of major importance, highlighted by annotated reference lists. An international Editorial Board reviews the annual table of contents, suggests articles of special interest to their country/region, and ensures that topics are current and include emerging research. Commentaries from well-known figures in the field are also provided.
