DeepPhe-CR

The DeepPhe-CR Final release is the project’s final software release for cancer registry applications. DeepPhe-CR is intended for cancer registry workflows, registrar case abstraction, and integration with registry systems.

DeepPhe-CR provides REST APIs for submissions of documents to the DeepPhe-CR pipeline and return of extracted results, with the goal of providing DeepPhe services to tools for cancer patient data abstraction. Developed in support of cancer registries from the NCI Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) Program, DeepPhe-CR provides web services suitable for integration into existing registry case abstraction tools.
DeepPhe-CR tools are provided as a suite of Docker containers supporting ease of installation and operation. DeepPhe-CR has been developed in partnership with the Kentucky Cancer Registry. DeepPhe-CR is not a web or REST-based version of DeepPhe Translational. DeepPhe-CR has different capabilities, a different ontology, and different processors. DeepPhe-CR provides one and only one ICD-O code for a primary cancer’s morphology, topography, laterality, and grade. This behavior is very different from that of DeepPhe Translational, which reports 0-n values for numerous attributes of multiple cancers and tumors.

There is a DeepPhe-CR wiki with information on installation and use.
