Article Synopsis
  • - This study addresses the complexity of diagnosing pituitary adenomas by creating a detailed annotated dataset (TCPA) from clinical notes, which includes 2000 documents and over half a million words filled with diagnosis and treatment information.
  • - The corpus construction employed a semi-automatic approach, achieving high-quality annotations with a strong inter-annotator agreement, highlighting the dataset's reliability for research purposes.
  • - Experiments with large language models (LLMs) demonstrated that TCPA can automatically extract clinical information from unstructured text and effectively reduce the amount of training data needed, saving labor costs in medical research.
