Developing a medical ontology in the domain of colon cancer.
Over 57,000 people are expected to die from colorectal cancer in 2003. When colorectal cancer is detected early, survival rates are much higher. Increasingly, members of the public seek healthcare information from the Internet. Even though more data are available on demand than ever before, the g...
