AI model GatorOnco achieves expert-level performance in colorectal cancer treatment planning

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

Researchers have developed GatorOnco, an agentic large language model designed for treatment planning in colorectal cancer. Trained on a massive dataset of 282 billion tokens, including extensive clinical text from UF Health, GatorOnco utilizes a domain-adaptation method and an agentic retrieval-augmented generation approach to integrate up-to-date clinical guidelines. In a clinical evaluation, GatorOnco demonstrated expert-level performance comparable to oncologists, receiving higher ratings for readability and completeness, while matching expert performance in correctness, currency, and safety.
