Several cutting-edge tools and technologies are fundamental to cancer informatics:
1. Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML): These technologies analyze vast amounts of data to identify patterns and make predictions about cancer progression and treatment outcomes. 2. Bioinformatics: This involves the application of computational methods to understand biological data, particularly genetic sequences. 3. Big Data Analytics: Handling and analyzing large datasets to uncover hidden insights and trends. 4. Electronic Health Records (EHRs): Digital versions of patients' medical histories that provide comprehensive data for analysis.
