CRISS: A Retrieval-Augmented AI Chatbot for Assisting Cancer Registrars

CRISS is a retrieval‑augmented generation chatbot designed to aid cancer registrars by providing rapid, citation‑supported answers to complex coding and staging questions. It uses a domain‑specific knowledge base of national registry standards, indexed as dense embeddings, to retrieve relevant passages that ground responses generated by a large language model. In evaluations, RAG configurations consistently outperformed non‑RAG baselines across easy, medium, and hard questions, achieving higher grounding and semantic similarity scores while maintaining human oversight for final decisions.

ClinAgent: A ReAct-Based Agent for Conversational Access to Clinical Trial Information

ClinAgent is a conversational system that uses a ReAct-based LLM agent to retrieve and synthesize clinical trial information from multiple sources such as ClinicalTrials.gov, PubMed, and a local dataset. The agent iteratively reasons over user queries, selects appropriate tools, and refines its actions to provide grounded, up-to-date responses in natural language across multi-turn interactions. Evaluation across three phases shows that DeepSeek (thinking mode) excels in planning quality while Gemini 3.0 Flash delivers the highest overall performance and expert ratings, demonstrating the promise of agentic AI for improving clinical trial data access.

Evaluating AI Generated Summaries for Cancer Patients

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.
