- What happened
- Researchers created NPC-RubricBench, a benchmark evaluating 30 LLMs across six sequential cancer care phases using 941 patient cases with phase-specific criteria.
- Why it matters
- Matters for engineers building clinical AI systems that must maintain reliability across multiple treatment stages, not just single diagnostic moments.
- Watch out
- Strong diagnostic performance did not translate to downstream care quality. Detailed prompts improved decision quality but reduced evidence faithfulness and safety adherence.
