Abstract

The role of large language models (LLM) in medical and biomedical sciences is remarkable, and chat generative pre-trained transformer (ChatGPT) as an AI model has the potential to assist in research and clinical practice. While it is essential to recognize that AI models like ChatGPT are tools that should be used with human expertise and judgment, they should argue, rather than replace, the knowledge and experience of healthcare professionals and researchers in the medical and biomedical fields.

Keywords: Cancer; ChatGPT; Medical; Oncology; Research.
