Data in cancer research is collected through various methods:
Genomic Sequencing: High-throughput sequencing technologies generate vast amounts of genetic data. Clinical Trials: Data on patient responses to treatments, side effects, and outcomes. Medical Imaging: Techniques such as MRI, CT scans, and PET scans produce large volumes of image data. Electronic Health Records: Comprehensive patient data including demographics, medical history, and treatment plans. Patient Registries: Databases that track patient outcomes and experiences over time.
