OpenMTB-Audit: Exposing Over-Refusal and Clinical Expert Perspectives in LLM-Based Molecular Tumor Board Safety Evaluation

OpenMTB‑Audit is an open‑source benchmark that tests large language models on 500 synthetic non‑small cell lung cancer cases, covering five adversarial error categories and four safety labels: Supported, Partially Supported, Unsupported, and Insufficient Information. The study found that all eight tested LLMs over‑refused Partially Supported recommendations, collapsing labels to achieve high safety scores. A deterministic seven‑module framework, MTB‑AuditAgent, was introduced to reduce over‑refusal to 6.7% and reach 91.2% accuracy, while an oncologist annotation study highlighted disagreement around the boundary between information sufficiency and treatment optimization.

A Semantic Model of Genetic Evidence: A Step Toward Bridging the Basic-Science-Clinic Gap

The article presents a new semantic model for representing scientific evidence, specifically tailored to genetics, that extends existing standards by adding fine‑grained, domain‑specific structure. It aligns with FHIR Evidence and SEPIO, incorporates a compact vocabulary validated by SHACL, and was tested in a human‑AI annotation pilot on six genetics papers, producing 28 evidence items and 95 source‑anchored assertions. The authors argue that this model advances trustworthy, AI‑ready infrastructure for variant interpretation by providing a reference data model and validation schema for genetic evidence.

LUCAID: Agentic Multimodal AI for Lung Cancer Precision Pathology

LUCAID is an agentic multimodal AI system designed for precision lung cancer pathology, integrating nine modules that cover the entire routine workflow—from quality control and tumor detection to histological subtyping, microenvironment profiling, cellularity quantification, and biomarker scoring (PD‑L1, MET, TROP‑2). The system generates automated structured reports and allows interactive querying of module outputs. In prospective clinical validation, LUCAID achieved 93.0% concordance with an expert‑panel reference standard for clinically actionable decisions, outperforming five experienced thoracic pathologists who ranged from 68.3% to 81.1% concordance.
