• Abstract summary: Clinical Practice Guidelines (CPGs) for cancer diseases evolve rapidly due to new evidence generated by active research. Currently, CPGs are primarily published in a document format that is ill-suited for managing this developing knowledge. This work proposes an automated method for extraction of knowledge from NCCN CPGs in Oncology.

• Abstract: Clinical Practice Guidelines (CPGs) for cancer diseases evolve rapidly due to new evidence generated by active research. Currently, CPGs are primarily published in a document format that is ill-suited for managing this developing knowledge. A knowledge model of the guidelines document suitable for programmatic interaction is required. This work proposes an automated method for extraction of knowledge from National Comprehensive Cancer Network (NCCN) CPGs in Oncology and generating a structured model containing the retrieved knowledge. The proposed method was tested using two versions of NCCN Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC) CPG to demonstrate the effectiveness in faithful extraction and modeling of knowledge. Three enrichment strategies using Cancer staging information, Unified Medical Language System (UMLS) Metathesaurus & National Cancer Institute thesaurus (NCIt) concepts, and Node classification are also presented to enhance the model towards enabling programmatic traversal and querying of cancer care guidelines. The Node classification was performed using a Support Vector Machine (SVM) model, achieving a classification accuracy of 0.81 with 10-fold cross-validation.

  This work proposes an improved automated knowledge modeling algorithm to create knowledge models from Cancer Practice Guidelines (CPGs) We created a question-answering (Q&A) framework with the guideline knowledge models as augmented knowledge base to study our ability to query the knowledge models. The framework was evaluated against the question-answer pairs from one data source, and it can generate the answers with 54.5% accuracy from the treatment algorithm and 81.8% accuracy from the discussion part of the NCCN NSCLC guideline knowledge model.
