Abstract

The purpose of this study is to extract features and structure them using text mining and to analyze changes over time on consultation records accumulated in a cancer consultation and support center database from 2009 to 2018. The text-mining approach worked effectively under conditions of expanding data, and a co-occurrence network revealed patterns and trends in the content of consultations.
