Abstract

We tested and adapted Cancer Text Information Extraction System (caTIES), a publicly available natural language processing tool (NLP), as a method for identifying terms suggestive of adverse drug events (ADEs). Although caTIES was intended to extract concepts from surgical pathology reports, we report that it can successfully be used to search for ADEs on a much broader range of documents.
