EHRs play a crucial role in cancer research by providing vast amounts of data that can be analyzed to identify trends, outcomes, and potential new treatments. Researchers can:
Analyze Patient Data: Large datasets from EHRs enable the study of treatment efficacy, side effects, and patient outcomes on a broad scale. Identify Biomarkers: Integrated data can help identify biomarkers that predict treatment response or disease progression. Conduct Clinical Trials: EHRs streamline the identification of eligible patients for clinical trials, enhancing recruitment and participation.
