Several methods and technologies are employed to identify patterns in cancer data:
1. Machine Learning: Algorithms can analyze large datasets to find correlations and patterns that may not be apparent to human researchers. 2. Genomic Sequencing: By sequencing the genomes of cancer cells, scientists can identify mutations and other genetic changes that are characteristic of different types of cancer. 3. Medical Imaging: Techniques like MRI and CT scans can be analyzed to identify abnormal growths or changes in tissue. 4. Biomarker Analysis: Measuring levels of specific biomarkers in blood or tissue samples can provide early indications of cancer.
