the use of AI in studying and treating patients with pituitary adenomas has grown exponentially&#44; including facial imaging&#44; radiomics&#44; pathological studies&#44; and analyzing EHRs with both textual information and medical Images&#46;<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0300"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">30</span></a> As far as we know&#44; this is the first study ever conducted to use free text from EHRs as a source of data for NPL extraction to study the incidence of cancer in patients with acromegaly&#46; This real-world study provides clinical information suggesting the association of acromegaly with cancer in general and with colorectal&#44; urothelial &#40;bladder&#41;&#44; and hematologic &#40;lymphoma&#41; cancers in particular&#44; especially in men&#46; It also confirms the association with thyroid cancer in women&#46; Finally&#44; our study did not show a statistically significant association with breast and prostate cancers&#46;</p><p id="par0155" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">The main strength of our research lies in the extraction of real-world data and the achievement of a substantial and unbiased sample size&#46;

and ultimately transform it into structured data&#46; This allowed us to effectively understand&#44; process&#44; organize the unstructured textual content of EHRs&#44; and ultimately transform it into organized data&#46; Dataset we analyzed included diagnoses from more than 700&#44;000 patients across the study period&#46; This ensured the reliability and objectivity of the conclusions drawn from real-world clinical practice&#46;</p><p id="par0160" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">The main limitations of our study were the impossibility of analyzing differences based on acromegaly disease progression&#44; histopathological characteristics and tumor size&#44; circulating levels of GH and IGF-1&#44; use of drugs&#44; such as somatostatin analogs&#44; dopaminergic agonists&#44; GH receptor antagonists and pituitary surgery-induced changes with or without adjuvant radiotherapy&#46; The database included the date of the first report in which the variable appeared&#59; however&#44; we cannot be completely sure that this date corresponds to the exact date of diagnosis of both acromegaly and cancer&#46; Consequently&#44; we cannot establish a definitive temporal relationship between the period of exposure to elevated IGF-1 levels and the diagnosis of cancer&#46; Furthermore&#44; we must recognize as a limitation of the study a possible bias given the difference in age and sex distribution of the patients in the 2 study samples&#46;</p><p id="par0165" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">Another limitation is that Savana only extracts information from EHRs without generalizing inferences&#46; Therefore&#44; the system may not be able to detect subtle patterns or draw conclusions that are not explicitly documented in the EHR&#46; In addition&#44; the accuracy of the results obtained by the system depends on the accuracy of the diagnoses recorded in the patient&#39;s health record&#46; Finally&#44; the cohort analyzed was studied in our own hospital&#44; which may not be representative of the overall population&#46; In addition&#44; it is important to keep in mind that our hospital is a tertiary referral center for pituitary pathology&#44; as evidenced by the high number of patients with acromegaly studied&#46; It is possible that a significant number of patients were referred to us for surgery and subsequently monitored in these patients&#8217; referring hospitals&#46; This situation may lead to misclassification of cases in the cancer-free group due to lack of adequate follow-up and may induce bias in the analysis of the long-term relationship between acromegaly and cancer&#46;</p><p id="par0170" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">In conclusion&#44; this NLP and big data analysis-based study shows that acromegaly is generally associated with cancer and this association is more common in men vs women&#46; Colorectal cancer&#44; bladder cancer and lymphoma are the main associated neoplasms&#46; Other associated cancers include thyroid cancer in women and stomach&#44; liver and breast cancer in men&#46; The concordance of our results with most previously published studies provides valuable insights into the potential application of AI methods in the analysis of real-world data and information&#46;</p></span><span id="sec0055" class="elsevierStyleSection elsevierViewall"><span class="elsevierStyleSectionTitle" id="sect0115">Conflict of interest</span><p id="par0175" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">The authors declare that they have no conflict of interest&#46;</p></span></span>"
