A new study published on arXiv evaluated the performance of large language models (LLMs) in agentic clinical reasoning within hematologic oncology. The research found that even the best-performing models achieved only 68% accuracy, with a significant drop in information utilization in later diagnostic stages. Models exhibited a failure to seek critical data, mirroring cognitive biases seen in novice clinicians, indicating that their primary limitation is not knowledge recall but information-seeking under uncertainty.
