Several software tools are pivotal in cancer research and treatment:
Electronic Health Records (EHR): These systems store patient data, making it easier for healthcare providers to track patient history and treatment plans. Genomic Data Analysis Tools: Platforms like GATK and Bioconductor help in analyzing genomic data to identify cancer-related mutations. Medical Imaging Software: Tools such as DICOM and PACS store and analyze imaging data, helping in the early detection of tumors. Clinical Trial Management Systems: These systems streamline the management of clinical trials, from patient recruitment to data collection and analysis.
