Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Ideal candidates are adults aged 18 and older with a confirmed diagnosis of gastric or colorectal cancer and complete medical records available.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients with cancers other than gastrointestinal cancers or those receiving treatment across multiple hospitals may not benefit from this study.

What this trial studies
This study evaluates the effectiveness of ChatGPT in suggesting treatment plans for patients with gastrointestinal cancers by analyzing both retrospective and prospective data. Medical records from over 1,200 patients will be collected, with a portion used to explore various prompt methods for treatment recommendations. A multidisciplinary team will assess the AI's suggestions against those of clinicians. Additionally, 400 participants will be randomly assigned to receive either clinician-only recommendations or ChatGPT-assisted plans, allowing for a comparison of treatment outcomes.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this approach could enhance treatment decision-making for patients with gastrointestinal cancers, potentially leading to improved outcomes.
How similar studies have gone: While the use of AI in treatment recommendations is a growing field, this specific application of ChatGPT for gastrointestinal cancers is novel and has not been extensively tested in prior studies.
