As ChatGPT gained popularity, it attracted the attention of everyone in the medical field, including both medical professionals and patients who want to access information about diseases and treatment. Both patients and healthy people started to seek the shortest and fastest answers to their health-related questions with chatGPT. In this time when access to fast information has become easier, it has become difficult to distinguish correct information from incorrect information. In order not to get lost in this information confusion, it is necessary to be sure of the sources used. In our study, we wanted to examine the level of knowledge and adequacy of ChatGPT under headings such as general information about breast cancer, treatment options, risks, and ways of protection. We directed the 32 most frequently asked questions about breast cancer to chatGPT. The questions were asked in two languages, both Turkish and English. The answers received were evaluated by 2 experts. The answers given to the questions were generally considered sufficient. We evaluated it as a reliable source that can be used as it provides accurate and sufficient information to patients. However, we observed that using the English language rather than Turkish makes ChatGPT easier to understand and provides deeper and more accurate information.
