@azure-rest/health-insights-cancerprofiling NPM

CancerProfiling REST client library for JavaScript

Health Insights is an Azure Applied AI Service built with the Azure Cognitive Services Framework, that leverages multiple Cognitive Services, Healthcare API services and other Azure resources. The Cancer Profiling model receives clinical records of oncology patients and outputs cancer staging, such as clinical stage TNM categories and pathologic stage TNM categories as well as tumor site, histology.

Please rely heavily on our REST client docs to use this library

Getting started

Currently supported environments

LTS versions of Node.js

Prerequisites

LTS versions of Node.js
You must have an Azure subscription to use this package.
An existing Cognitive Services Health Insights instance.

Install the `@azure-rest/health-insights-cancerprofiling` package

Install the CancerProfiling REST client library for JavaScript with npm:

npm install @azure-rest/health-insights-cancerprofiling

SDK version	Supported API version of service
1.0.0-beta.1	2023-03-01-preview

Create and authenticate a `CancerProfilingRestClient`

To use an Azure Active Directory (AAD) token credential, provide an instance of the desired credential type obtained from the @azure/identity library.

To authenticate with AAD, you must first npm install @azure/identity

After setup, you can choose which type of credential from @azure/identity to use. As an example, DefaultAzureCredential can be used to authenticate the client.

Set the values of the client ID, tenant ID, and client secret of the AAD application as environment variables: AZURE_CLIENT_ID, AZURE_TENANT_ID, AZURE_CLIENT_SECRET

Key concepts

The Cancer Profiling model allows you to infer cancer attributes such as tumor site, histology, clinical stage TNM categories and pathologic stage TNM categories from unstructured clinical documents.

Examples

Infer Cancer Profiling

const apiKey = process.env["HEALTH_INSIGHTS_API_KEY"] || "";
const endpoint =
  process.env["HEALTH_INSIGHTS_ENDPOINT"] || "";
const credential = new AzureKeyCredential(apiKey);
const client = CancerProfilingRestClient(endpoint, credential);

       She was treated with antibiotics with partial response. 
       6 weeks later a repeat CXR was performed- a few solid dense findings in the right lung. 
       Therefore, she was referred for a PET-CT which demonstrated increased uptake in the right 
       breast, lymph nodes on the right a few areas in the lungs and liver.

Troubleshooting

Logging

Enabling logging may help uncover useful information about failures. In order to see a log of HTTP requests and responses, set the AZURE_LOG_LEVEL environment variable to info. Alternatively, logging can be enabled at runtime by calling setLogLevel in the @azure/logger:

const { setLogLevel } = require("@azure/logger");

setLogLevel("info");

For more detailed instructions on how to enable logs, you can look at the @azure/logger package docs.
