The study evaluates AI-generated summaries for cancer patients using a dual assessment framework that includes human experts and LLM-as-a-judge. Human domain experts—oncology clinicians and patient-facing care staff—assess summary quality on accuracy, clinical relevance, and readability. The research identifies limitations such as omissions and minor inaccuracies, which are then used to iteratively refine prompts, grounding, and safety guardrails.

arXiv:2409. 07314v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: While Large Language Models (LLMs) achieve superhuman performance on standardized medical licensing exams, these static benchmarks have become saturated and increasingly disconnected from the functional requirements of clinical workflows.

arXiv:2607. 09932v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Large language models are increasingly used to summarize clinical trial results for healthcare providers, patients, and payers, but their tendency to hallucinate poses significant risks in this high-stakes context.

The paper introduces a retrieval‑augmented multi‑agent framework that automatically generates instance‑specific evaluation rubrics for medical language models. By retrieving authoritative medical evidence, decomposing it into atomic facts, and combining these with user interaction constraints, the system produces fine‑grained criteria that outperform GPT‑4o on HealthBench and LLMEval‑Med. The generated rubrics also guide response refinement, improving medical LLM output quality by 9.2%.

arXiv:2606. 19183v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Large language models (LLMs) can make clinical decision support more accessible by interpreting free-text documentation, but their direct use as diagnostic engines is limited by sensitivity to prompts, information order, and plausible but incorrect outputs.

MTDiag is a newly released multi-turn diagnostic dialogue dataset designed to evaluate large language models (LLMs) in clinically meaningful ways. It is built from DDXPlus, MIMIC-IV, and AJCR case reports, covering both common emergency department presentations and rare conditions, and normalizes cases into a canonical schema using UMLS concept identifiers and ICD-10 codes. The dataset includes a UserLM‑8B utterance‑generation pipeline and physician‑validated natural‑language utterances, and introduces clinical knowledge‑grounded metrics that go beyond simple diagnostic accuracy for multi‑turn differential diagnosis tasks.

arXiv:2509. 02594v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Evaluating large language models (LLMs) on their ability to generate high-quality, accurate, situationally aware answers to clinical questions requires going beyond conventional benchmarks to assess how these systems behave in complex, high-stakes clinical scenarios.

The paper introduces MEGA-CDP, a benchmark designed to evaluate medical large language models (LLMs) on their ability to generate clinical decision pathways (CDPs) that adhere to clinical practice guidelines. MEGA-CDP is built from 2,274 English and Chinese guidelines, producing 42,353 clinical cases with explicit reference CDPs, and supports both single-turn and multi-turn interactions. Experiments on 16 LLMs reveal that reliable guideline adherence remains difficult, underscoring the need for CDP-focused evaluation and the potential of MEGA-CDP to advance medical LLM performance.
