Artificial intelligence (AI) applications to medical care are currently under investigation. We aimed to evaluate and compare the quality and accuracy of physician and chatbot responses to common clinical questions in gynecologic oncology. In this cross-sectional pilot study, ten questions about the knowledge and management of gynecologic cancers were selected.

  • The study aims to evaluate the acceptability and feasibility of routine HPV vaccination for postpartum women and to identify ways to enhance vaccination rates.
  • Researchers reviewed 60 studies related to postpartum HPV vaccination, ultimately selecting nine that provided relevant data on vaccine uptake or acceptability.
  • The findings suggest that integrating HPV vaccination into postpartum care can effectively boost vaccination rates, making it a practical approach that benefits both patients and public health by reducing potential HPV-related cancers.

Background: The changes in the tumor microenvironment of high-grade serous ovarian carcinomas following neoadjuvant chemotherapy are a complex area of study. Previous research underscores the importance of investigating the immune and collagen components within the tumor microenvironment for prognostic implications.

Methods: In this study, we utilized computational pathology techniques with Hematoxylin and Eosin-stained images to quantitatively characterize the immune and collagen architecture within the tumor microenvironment of patients with high-grade serous ovarian carcinoma.
