ABSTRACT
Treatment patterns in systemic anticancer therapy (SACT) are extremely varied and complex. While professional society guidelines exist that suggest recommended treatment strategies, these guidelines are produced through an extremely laborious and sometimes opaque manual process, making it impossible for such guidelines to cover all relevant treatment scenarios. To complement these manually curated guidelines, we leveraged a database of 5818 clinical trials and 7012 supporting references from 1943-present to calculate a quantifiable "relevance score". In a pilot evaluation, this score was strongly associated with professional society guideline recommendations, while also providing relevance information on thousands of additional therapies. We show that this score also accurately illustrates trends in SACT adoption over time. We foresee that this score, which comprehensively evaluates the relevance of SACT overall and by cancer subtype, will have utility for clinical practitioners as well as researchers in real-world data.
