Article Synopsis
- A study was conducted to analyze how often dermatologic surgeons face challenges in identifying the locations of skin cancer tumors before surgery.
- Out of over 17,000 cases, only 0.60% involved uncertain sites, with these cases more common in older, male patients who had biopsies done over a month prior.
- Surgeons commonly used various methods to confirm tumor locations, achieving success in identifying 82% of these uncertain sites, while some surgeries were delayed, especially for non-facial tumors.
Article Synopsis
- The study analyzes the use of large language models (LLMs) as educational tools for patients considering Mohs micrographic surgery (MMS), focusing on their effectiveness and accuracy.* -
- A panel of 15 MMS surgeons assessed LLM-generated responses to common patient questions, finding that most responses were appropriate and 75% rated as mostly accurate, with ChatGPT scoring the highest in accuracy.* -
- While LLM responses were deemed appropriate, only 33% were considered sufficient for clinical use, and their complexity may hinder patient understanding, highlighting the need for dermatologists to recognize these limitations.*
