Title: AI in Precision Oncology: Leveraging Large Language Models for PD-L1 Biomarker Extraction
A groundbreaking study, recently published in the esteemed journal AI in Precision Oncology, explores the efficacy of large language models (LLMs) in swiftly extracting PD-L1 biomarker details from electronic health records (EHR). This study, led by Aaron Cohen, MD, from Flatiron Health and NYU Langone School of Medicine, sheds light on the potential of artificial intelligence in revolutionizing cancer treatment decisions.
PD-L1 biomarker testing plays a crucial role in guiding cancer treatment strategies. However, the complexity of interpreting unstructured laboratory reports poses a significant challenge. By utilizing open-source LLMs, Cohen and his team successfully extracted seven key biomarker details related to PD-L1 testing from the vast Flatiron Health US nationwide EHR database.
The researchers reported that LLMs, when fine-tuned with high-quality labeled data, exhibited remarkable accuracy in extracting intricate PD-L1 test details from EHRs, despite variations in cancer types, documentation styles, and time frames. This study exemplifies the power of AI in navigating through extensive medical records to uncover essential biomarker data, ultimately enhancing patient care, saving time, and improving outcomes.
