Researchers have developed RAPTOR+, a multimodal framework utilizing Vision-Language Models (VLMs) to enhance the processing of clinical cancer referrals. This system aims to improve trust and auditability by directly linking extracted information to visual evidence within referral documents. Evaluations on colorectal cancer referrals demonstrated that fine-tuned models, specifically Qwen3-VL-8B, significantly outperformed zero-shot models like Gemini 2.5 Flash in both reading accuracy and verifiable evidence grounding, highlighting the necessity of task-specific fine-tuning for reliable clinical document understanding.
