October 2025—Large language models are becoming commonplace for personal and business use. The health care community is leveraging large language models (LLMs) for various purposes. Researchers at the University Medical Center Hamburg-Eppendorf, Hamburg, Germany, have successfully used open-source LLMs to extract critical medical data from pathology reports. They conducted a study that demonstrated how LLMs can transform unstructured clinical text into structured pathology data. While pathology reports are rich in information about tumor type, size, and stage, their narrative format makes automated data extraction difficult.
