Abstract

BACKGROUND: The objective of this study was to evaluate the concordance between therapeutic recommendations proposed by a multidisciplinary team meeting and those generated by a large language model (ChatGPT) for colorectal cancer. Although multidisciplinary teams represent the 'standard' for decision-making in cancer treatment, they require significant resources and may be susceptible to human bias. Artificial intelligence, particularly large language models such as ChatGPT, has the potential to enhance or optimize the decision-making processes. The present study examines the potential for integrating artificial intelligence into clinical practice by comparing multidisciplinary team decisions with those generated by ChatGPT.
