The complexity and volume of cancer research data necessitate robust systems for data management. A DBMS offers several advantages:
1. Data Integration: It allows for the integration of data from multiple sources, such as patient records, laboratory results, and genomic databases. 2. Data Consistency: Ensures that data remains consistent and accurate across multiple access points. 3. Security: Provides mechanisms for securing sensitive patient information. 4. Efficiency: Enhances the efficiency of data retrieval and analysis, enabling researchers to make faster and more accurate discoveries.
