Extract Oncology Tests

Description

This model extracts mentions of tests from oncology texts, including pathology tests and imaging tests.

Definitions of Predicted Entities:

  • Biomarker: Biological molecules that indicate the presence or absence of cancer, or the type of cancer. Oncogenes are excluded from this category.
  • Biomarker_Result: Terms or values that are identified as the result of a biomarkers.
  • Imaging_Test: Imaging tests mentioned in texts, such as “chest CT scan”.
  • Oncogene: Mentions of genes that are implicated in the etiology of cancer.
  • Pathology_Test: Mentions of biopsies or tests that use tissue samples.

Predicted Entities

Biomarker, Biomarker_Result, Imaging_Test, Oncogene, Pathology_Test
