Magnetic resonance-guided stereotactic body radiation therapy for pancreatic oligometastases from renal cell carcinoma.

Stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) may be a non-invasive strategy to treat patients with pancreatic oligometastases from renal cell carcinoma (RCC). We analyzed 11 patients treated with MR-guided SBRT to 31 pancreatic oligometastases. At a median follow-up of 31.

Comparing Patient's Confidence in Clinical Capabilities in Urology: Large Language Models Versus Urologists.

Background And Objective: Data on interaction of patients with artificial intelligence (AI) are limited, primarily derived from small-scale studies, cross-sectional surveys, and qualitative reviews. Most patients have not yet encountered AI in their clinical experience. This study explored patients' confidence in AI, specifically large language models, after a direct interaction with a chatbot in a clinical setting.

Large language model use in clinical oncology.

Large language models (LLMs) are undergoing intensive research for various healthcare domains. This systematic review and meta-analysis assesses current applications, methodologies, and the performance of LLMs in clinical oncology. A mixed-methods approach was used to extract, summarize, and compare methodological approaches and outcomes.

Impact of a kidney-adjusted ERAS protocol on postoperative outcomes in patients undergoing partial nephrectomy.

Purpose: Evaluation of a kidney-adjusted enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) protocol (kERAS) in patients undergoing nephron-sparing surgery (PN).

Methods: The kERAS protocol is a multidimensional protocol focusing on optimized perioperative fluid and nutrition management as well as strict intraoperative and postoperative blood pressure limits. It was applied in a prospective cohort (n = 147) of patients undergoing open or robotic PN.
