Introduction: Recent developments in the field of large language models have showcased impressive achievements in their ability to perform natural language processing tasks, opening up possibilities for use in critical domains like telehealth. We conducted a pilot study on the opportunities of utilizing large language models, specifically GPT-3.5, GPT-4, and LLaMA 2, in the context of zero-shot summarization of doctor-patient conversation during a palliative care teleconsultation.

Article Synopsis
  • Solitary fibrous tumors (SFTs) have malignant potential and are rare in the breast and axilla; this study examined clinical and pathologic data from two institutions, focusing on five patients identified with these tumors.
  • The research involved a review of existing literature on breast and axillary SFTs, finding a total of 58 additional patients, with a significant number showing no evidence of disease after varying follow-up durations.
  • The study evaluated various risk models for predicting tumor behavior, revealing that the modified Demicco model had the best performance in assessing recurrence-free probability, indicating that while most SFTs are relatively indolent, some can recur or metastasize.

Salivary duct carcinoma (SDC) is aggressive with limited therapeutic options. A subset of SDC display human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) protein overexpression by immunohistochemistry, and some show ERBB2 gene amplification. Guidelines for HER2 scoring are not firmly established.

Article Synopsis
  • Low-grade adenosquamous carcinoma (LGASC) of the breast is a rare condition with distinct challenges for diagnosis due to its unclear clinical and pathological signs, though it generally presents a less aggressive behavior compared to other types of breast cancer.* -
  • A study of 25 cases of LGASC found notable characteristics such as infiltration patterns, associations with intraductal papilloma, and specific immunohistochemical markers (like P63) that aid in diagnosis; however, some markers like smooth muscle myosin were only found in a minority of cases.* -
  • The majority of patients were treated successfully through surgical excision or mastectomy, with most having negative margins and no recurrences or metastases observed during
