Recent advancements in large language models (LLMs) enable real-time web search, improved referencing, and multilingual support, yet ensuring they provide safe health information remains crucial. This perspective evaluates seven publicly accessible LLMs-ChatGPT, Co-Pilot, Gemini, MetaAI, Claude, Grok, Perplexity-on three simple cancer-related queries across eight languages (336 responses: English, French, Chinese, Thai, Hindi, Nepali, Vietnamese, Arabic). None of the 42 English responses...
