The use of EDC systems in cancer research offers several advantages:
Data Accuracy: EDC systems reduce human error by implementing real-time data validation checks and reducing the need for manual data entry. Speed: With EDC, data is available for analysis almost instantaneously, allowing researchers to make quicker decisions and adapt their studies as needed. Cost Efficiency: By minimizing the need for physical storage and labor-intensive data handling, EDC systems can significantly reduce trial costs. Regulatory Compliance: EDC systems facilitate compliance with regulatory standards, such as those set by the FDA, by maintaining a clear and traceable audit trail.
