Validation of large language models for detecting pathologic complete response in breast cancer using population-based pathology reports

The study successfully demonstrates the efficacy of LLMs in interpreting and processing digital pathology data, particularly for determining pCR in breast cancer patients post-NAC. The superior performance of LLM-based pipelines over traditional models highlights their significant potential in extracting and analyzing key clinical data from narrative reports. While promising, these findings highlight the need for future external validation to confirm the reliability and broader applicability of these methods.
