Why are Data Standards Important in Cancer Research?
Data standards are crucial in cancer research for several reasons:
Interoperability: By using standardized formats, data from different sources can be easily integrated and compared, fostering collaboration among researchers. Efficiency: Standardized data collection reduces the time and resources needed to prepare data for analysis. Regulatory Compliance: CDISC standards are recognized by regulatory agencies like the FDA and the EMA, facilitating the approval process for new cancer therapies.
