Abstract—Cancer is a malignant disease that has caused millions of human deaths. Text mining can help researchers discover hidden rules and relationships between documents so advanced cancer research. In this paper, we analyze the properties of text mining and cancer research documents. We discussed the research directions of text mining in cancer research with examples of systems and tools. In conclusion part, we talked about future way the text mining development.
Index Terms—text mining, cancer risk assessment, hypothesis generation, knowledge discovery
