What are the future directions for TCGA and cancer research?
The future of TCGA and cancer research lies in further integrating multi-omics data to create a holistic view of cancer biology. Continued advancements in bioinformatics and data analysis techniques will enable even deeper insights into the complexities of cancer. Moreover, expanding the diversity of the patient population in TCGA studies will help ensure that findings are applicable to a broader range of patients. Finally, efforts to translate TCGA discoveries into clinical practice will continue to be a priority, with the ultimate goal of improving cancer diagnosis, treatment, and prevention.
