Discovering Signature Disease Trajectories in Pancreatic Cancer and Soft-tissue Sarcoma from Longitudinal Patient Records reports: Understanding the disease trajectories of specific diseases can provide important clinical insights. In this paper, we aimed to discover signature disease trajectories of 3 rare cancer types: pancreatic cancer, soft tissue sarcoma (STS) of the trunk and extremity (STS-TE), and STS of the abdomen and retroperitoneum (STS-AR), leveraging IQVIA Oncology Electronic Medical Record. We identified significant diagnosis pairs in patients with these cancers through matched cohort sampling, statistical computation, right-tailed binomial hypothesis test, and visualized trajectories up to 3 progressions.
