I am looking for a NLP to read pathology reports and extract cancer related site, histology, stage and any other DX/RX data available. In looking at CTakes, I have a few questions;
- Is CTakes an appropriate tool to automate this task? - The end goal would be a fully automated tool where text was presented to an API and data was returned. - An added bonus, would be for the tool to annotate the text, so that a reviewer can more easily find the relevant data. - For someone with a strong IT/software development background, but no NLP background what is the level of difficulty in getting started with this product?
