AI based sentiment analysis of online discussions related to cervical brachytherapy
Our study demonstrates the value of analyzing unstructured patient narratives from online forums related to cervical brachytherapy. We identified patterns of concerns that can inform clinical practice, particularly regarding patient education about bowel and urinary side effects. These findings can improve informed consent discussions and help clinicians better address patients' significant concerns. Further work will focus on developing automated systems to bridge the gap between clinicians' understanding and patients' lived experiences.
