Abstract

PURPOSE: Chat Generative Pre-Trained Transformer (ChatGPT), an artificial intelligence program that uses natural language processing to generate conversational-style responses to questions or inputs, is increasingly being used by both patients and health care professionals. This study aims to evaluate the accuracy and comprehensiveness of ChatGPT in radiation oncology-related domains, including answering common patient questions, summarizing landmark clinical research studies, and providing literature reviews with specific references supporting current standard-of-care clinical practice in radiation oncology.
