Integrated Single-Cell and Bulk Transcriptome Analysis Reveals the Prognostic Significance and Immune Regulatory Mechanisms of Sialylation in Hepatocellular Carcinoma.

Liver Hepatocellular Carcinoma (LIHC) is a high-mortality primary liver cancer. Its treatment and prognosis are highly dependent on disease stage and liver function reserve, necessitating novel biomarkers and optimized therapeutic strategies. Sialylation frequently exhibits abnormal elevation (hypersialylation) in cancers and is recognized as both an important malignant marker and a potential ther...

When AI joins the table: evaluating large language model performance in soft tissue sarcoma tumor board decisions.

OBJECTIVES: Multidisciplinary tumor boards (MDTs) are critical for the personalized management of soft tissue sarcomas (STS), but they are limited by time, costs, and resource demands. With recent advances in large language models (LLMs) like ChatGPT, there is growing interest in evaluating their potential role in augmenting MDT workflows. This study aimed to assess the clinical performance of Cha...
