Traditional manual analysis of medical reports is extremely time consuming but crucial for accurate diagnosis and effective patient screening. 

In a recently published scientific study, Luís Elvas - Health Data Engineer in the Breast Cancer Research Programme at the Champalimaud Foundation - and colleagues, have shown that fine-tunning language models can be used for automated analysis of medical reports. This approach can streamline daily clinical workflows, improve categorisation of diseases in patients and offer a tool for new clinical research analysis.

Topic

This conference will discuss the prevention, treatment and challenges of gynaecological, testicular and prostate cancers with leading experts in the field.

Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer-related deaths. One of the reasons for this is that it is difficult to detect and diagnose at an early stage because the currently available methods are impracticable at the population level.
