In this workshop, we will explore how Large Language Models (LLMs) can accelerate the work of Cancer Registries. The first, theoretical, part will cover how LLMs work and provide examples from Cancer Registries and cancer research. In the second part, participants will engage in a hands-on practical session in Python, learning how to use LLMs for text classification and text generation. Basic familiarity with Python is advised but not necessary.
