Potential of ChatGPT in facilitating research in radiation oncology?

Purpose: To evaluate the potential of the artificial intelligence (AI) chatbot ChatGPT in supporting young clinical scientists with scientific tasks in radio oncological research.

Materials And Methods: Seven scientific tasks were to be completed in 3 h by 8 radiation oncologists with different scientific experience working at a university hospital: creation of a scientific synopsis, creation of a research question and corresponding clinical trial hypotheses, writing of the first paragraph of a manuscript introduction, clinical trial sample size calculation, and clinical data analyses (multivariate analysis, boxplot and survival curve). No participant had prior experience with an AI chatbot.

Is Oligometastatic Cancer Curable? A Survey of Oncologist Perspectives, Decision Making, and Communication.

Purpose: Oligometastatic disease (OMD) refers to a limited state of metastatic cancer, which potentially derives benefit from local treatments. Given the relative novelty of this paradigm, oncologist perspectives on OMD are not well established. We thus explored oncologist views on curability of and treatment recommendations for patients with OMD.
