All questions and explanations on BoardsQA are written as educational exercises for board exam preparation. They are designed to test knowledge of surgical oncology principles, not to provide clinical recommendations.

Clinical scenarios presented are simplified for educational purposes. They may omit clinical complexity, co-morbidities, and patient-specific factors that would be essential in actual clinical decision-making.

Do not use this platform to inform decisions about patient care. Clinical management must be based on:

• Current, version-specific clinical guidelines (NCCN, ESMO, NICE)
• Individual patient assessment by qualified clinicians
• Multidisciplinary team discussion where appropriate
• Institutional protocols and local expertise

All content is authored by Dr. Pablo Lozano Lominchar, MD, PhD, EBPSM, acting in personal capacity as educator. The content and views expressed on this platform do not represent the positions, policies, or recommendations of:

• Hospital General Universitario Gregorio Marañón (HGUGM)
• Universidad Complutense de Madrid (UCM)
• Asociación Española de Cirujanos (AEC)
• Any other professional body or institution

Surgical oncology guidelines are updated regularly. Question content on this platform may not reflect the most current guideline editions at all times.

Always verify clinical guidance against the most current published versions of NCCN, ESMO, PSOGI, or relevant national guidelines before applying to patient care.

Questions on this platform are generated using large language model (LLM) technology as an authoring aid, under the direct editorial supervision of Dr. Pablo Lozano Lominchar, MD, PhD, EBPSM. Each question is reviewed against current published guidelines (NCCN 2025–2026, ESMO, ESCP, PSOGI, IAP/APA, ATA, and others) before being published.

AI-assisted generation is used solely to accelerate the drafting of clinical vignettes and explanations. All final content, guideline citations, and board pearls are verified and approved by the platform author. The use of AI does not replace medical expertise — it is a tool to scale educational content production while maintaining clinical accuracy standards.
