This quality improvement study evaluated the use of ChatGPT-3.5 to translate prostate cancer pathology reports into patient-friendly language.
Researchers created:
- 25 prostate biopsy reports
- 25 radical prostatectomy reports
They used institutional templates and generated simplified versions with AI.
Nine urologists reviewed these reports, and 41 patients evaluated the biopsy reports for clarity and usefulness.
The AI-generated reports showed significantly higher readability scores compared to the original reports.
Both surgeons and patients responded positively, with most patients finding the AI versions easier to understand and preferring their inclusion in care.
The study suggests that AI tools can enhance report readability and improve patient comprehension in prostate cancer care.
