Abstract

A plethora of health informatioin available on the Internet potentially benefits a variety of people, including patients and care providers. However, due to the sheer volume of such information, the benefits have not been fully realized. In this poster, we present a user-centric text information retrieval and knowledge discovery tool, called "OncoViz," for cancer-related literature and navigation of the extracted knowledge as associations using a novel interactive information visualization tool. Based on our current results, it shows that a user-centric, integrated information extraction and visualization tool indeed can provide valuable information to users, such as cancer patients and care providers.
