LLMs Improve Brain Tumor Patient Education

A narrative review published in Frontiers in Oncology examines large language models (LLMs) for educating brain tumor patients, finding they can simplify complex information and offer empathetic, scalable support when supervised. The authors highlight risks including hallucinations, privacy concerns, readability gaps, and limited neuroimaging interpretation, and urge retrieval-augmented generation, human-in-the-loop verification, and regulatory guardrails. Implementation requires clinician training and mandatory verification.
