Abstract:
Background: Medical practitioners are increasingly using artificial intelligence (AI) chatbots for easier and faster access to information. To our knowledge, the accuracy and availability of AI-generated chemotherapy protocols has not yet been studied. Methods: Nine simulated cancer patient cases were designed and AI chatbots, ChatGPT version 3.5 (OpenAI) and Bing (Microsoft), were used to generate chemotherapy protocols for each case. Results: Generated chemotherapy protocols were compared with the original protocols for nine simulated cancer patients. ChatGPT's overall performance was 5 out of 9 on protocol generation, and Bing's was 4 out of 9; this was statistically nonsignificant (p = 1). Conclusion: AI chatbots show both potential and limitations in generating chemotherapy protocols. The overall performance is low, and they should be used carefully in oncological practice.

However, cancer treatments can pose several challenges, as therapies used to kill cancer cells are generally also toxic to normal cells. Moreover, cancer cells mutate rapidly and can develop resistance to chemical agents or radiation therapy. Besides, all types of cancer cells may not respond to the same therapy. Some cancer cells respond to one...
