Several types of network restrictions can affect cancer research:
1. Data Privacy: Regulations like the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) impose strict controls on how patient data can be shared and used. 2. Proprietary Technologies: Some institutions or companies may restrict access to their technologies or databases, limiting collaborative opportunities. 3. Funding Limitations: Restricted funding can limit the ability of researchers to access necessary resources or collaborate with other institutions. 4. Geopolitical Barriers: International collaborations can be hampered by differing regulations and restrictions imposed by various countries.
