Résumé

Precision medicine focuses on developing new treatments based on an individual's genetic, environmental, and lifestyle profile. While this data-driven approach has led to significant advances, retrieving information specific to a patient's condition has proved challenging for oncologists due to the large volume of data. In this paper, we propose the PRecIsion Medicine Robust Oncology Search Engine (PRIMROSE) for cancer patients that retrieves scientific articles and clinical trials based on a patient's condition, genetic profile, age, and gender. Our search engine utilizes Elasticsearch indexes for information storage and retrieval, and we developed a knowledge graph for query expansion in order to improve recall. Additionally, we experimented with machine learning and learning-to-rank components to the search engine and compared the results of the two approaches. Finally, we developed a front-facing ReactJS website and a REST API for connecting with our search engine. The development of this front-facing website allows for easy access to our system by healthcare providers.
