    Kidney cancer is the seventh most common cancer in the U.S., with renal cell carcinoma accounting for about 90% of cases.

  • 2

    Early-stage kidney cancer is often asymptomatic, leading to incidental detection during abdominal imaging in over half of cases.

  • 3

    Integrating structured electronic health record data with unstructured radiology reports can enhance predictive modeling for renal tumors.

  • 4

    Natural language processing techniques can extract tumor characteristics from unstructured clinical documentation, improving data utilization.

  • 5

    A multimodal pipeline combining structured and unstructured data can support individualized assessments and better clinical decision-making.
