In the first approach, as baseline, we extracted all NPs, while for the second and third ones the extraction process is directed to \u201cspecific NPs\u201d that are determined on the basis of the syntactic and positional criteria, among others. As contributions (i) we showed that it is possible to extract medical terms using \u201cspecific NPs\u201d, (ii) new terms were added in the software dictionary, and (iii) terms that were not in the reference lists were extracted. For the third contribution, we used the SNOMED-CT\xa9 terms lists, aiming at improving the IULA reference lists.}, booktitle = {Proceedings of the {International} {Conference} {Recent} {Advances} in {Natural} {Language} {Processing} 2011}, publisher = {RANLP 2011 Organising Committee}, author = {da Silva Conrado, Merley and Koza, Walter and D\xedaz-Labrador, Josuka and Abaitua, Joseba and Oliveira Rezende, Solange and Pardo, Thiago and Solana, Zulema}, month = sep, year = {2011}, keywords = {Natural language processing, core-c, medical domain, term extraction}, pages = {746--751} }']
