Oncology-focused natural language processing

Specific oncology concepts important in understanding cancer progression are often not available in structured formats, particularly the tumor, node and metastasis (TNM) values, stage information and biomarkers. 

Optum solves for these challenges with a technology-powered oncology-focused natural language processing (NLP) system. It leverages best practices in data science and automation to return precise, comprehensive extraction results for oncology concepts and biomarkers.

Learn how the use of clinical data, supervised machine learning models and annotation design enables Optum to create robust oncology data for a variety of research needs.
