Article Synopsis
- This study assessed how well Large Language Models (LLMs) like ChatGPT and Gemini answered melanoma-related patient questions compared to established Dutch patient information resources (PIRs).
- ChatGPT-3.5 had the highest accuracy, while Gemini excelled in completeness, personalization, and readability; however, the best LLMs still lagged behind PIRs in accuracy overall.
- Despite LLMs showing promise for personalized responses, the study highlights the need for improvement in their accuracy and reproducibility before they can fully replace traditional PIRs.
Article Synopsis
- The study focuses on stage I and II melanoma survivors to understand their experiences and survivorship care needs after treatment, highlighting the lack of research in this area despite the rising incidence of localized melanoma.
- The qualitative research involved 18 survivors divided into focus groups, revealing that they experienced significant emotional and physical challenges after treatment, alongside a mix of relief and fear as they navigated life post-diagnosis.
- Survivors emphasized the need for tailored information, accessible resources, and ongoing, patient-centered support to help them adjust and improve their quality of life after melanoma treatment.
Primary diagnosis of bronchial carcinoids (BC) is always made on biopsies and additional immunohistochemistry (IHC) is often necessary. In the present study we investigated the concordance of common diagnostic (synaptophysin, chromogranin, CD56 and INSM-1) and potential prognostic (OTP, CD44, Rb and p16) IHC markers between the preoperative biopsies and resections of in total 64 BCs, 26 typical (41 %) and 38 atypical (59 %) carcinoid tumors. Synaptophysin and chromogranin had 100 % concordance in all resected carcinoids and paired diagnostic biopsies.

- * Four online focus groups with 23 diverse HCPs revealed that they view existing SSC as inadequate and emphasize the importance of personalized care beginning at diagnosis.
- * HCPs support the use of survivorship care plans (SCPs) for better patient self-management and comprehensive care, but suggest that effective implementation requires personalization, integration into electronic health records, and sufficient funding.
