What Types of Data are Utilized in Cancer Research?
Cancer research employs several types of data:
Genomic Data: Information about the DNA sequences of cancer cells, including mutations and alterations. Transcriptomic Data: Data regarding RNA transcripts, which offers insights into gene expression levels. Proteomic Data: Data about proteins and their functions within cancer cells. Clinical Data: Patient-specific information such as medical history, treatment responses, and outcomes. Imaging Data: Visual data from technologies like MRI, CT scans, and PET scans. Epidemiological Data: Information on cancer incidence, prevalence, and risk factors across populations.
