Text-mining in cancer research may help identify effective treatments

Global cancer incidence has rapidly increased over the past few decades. In 2018, around 18.1 million people were diagnosed with cancer worldwide (1). With advanced cancer research and healthcare systems, five-year survival trends are generally increasing. Still, cancer is the second leading causes of death and counts for 9.6 million deaths globally (2). Systematical curations of cancer-related studies are beneficial to researchers as they seek to discover novel treatments for curing cancer.
