What Are Some Key Database Systems Used in Cancer Research?
Several specialized database systems are extensively used in cancer research:
The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA): A comprehensive repository of genomic and clinical data from thousands of cancer patients. SEER Database: The Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results program collects and publishes cancer incidence and survival data from population-based cancer registries. Cancer Imaging Archive (TCIA): A resource for images and related clinical data for cancer research. ClinicalTrials.gov: A database of privately and publicly funded clinical studies conducted around the world.
