Abstract

Objective: To evaluate ChatGPT's performance in brain glioma adjuvant therapy decision-making.

Methods: We randomly selected 10 patients with brain gliomas discussed at our institution's central nervous system tumour board (CNS TB). Patients' clinical status, surgical outcome, textual imaging information and immuno-pathology results were provided to ChatGPT V.3.5 and seven CNS tumour experts. The chatbot was asked to give the adjuvant treatment choice, and the regimen while considering the patient's functional status. The experts rated the artificial intelligence-based recommendations from 0 (complete disagreement) to 10 (complete agreement). An intraclass correlation coefficient agreement (ICC) was used to measure the inter-rater agreement.

Results: Eight patients (80%) met the criteria for glioblastoma and two (20%) were low-grade gliomas. The experts rated the quality of ChatGPT recommendations as poor for diagnosis (median 3, IQR 1-7.8, ICC 0.9, 95% CI 0.7 to 1.0), good for treatment recommendation (7, IQR 6-8, ICC 0.8, 95% CI 0.4 to 0.9), good for therapy regimen (7, IQR 4-8, ICC 0.8, 95% CI 0.5 to 0.9), moderate for functional status consideration (6, IQR 1-7, ICC 0.7, 95% CI 0.3 to 0.9) and moderate for overall agreement with the recommendations (5, IQR 3-7, ICC 0.7, 95% CI 0.3 to 0.9). No differences were observed between the glioblastomas and low-grade glioma ratings.

Conclusions: ChatGPT performed poorly in classifying glioma types but was good for adjuvant treatment recommendations as evaluated by CNS TB experts. Even though the ChatGPT lacks the precision to replace expert opinion, it may serve as a promising supplemental tool within a human-in-the-loop approach.
