Integrating data to fight cancer: Sharing ideas and best practice
5 December 2024
About half of us will be diagnosed with some form of cancer in our lifetime . Currently, patient data is held in different silos and between different institutions, making it difficult for researchers and clinicians to learn more about cancers and treat them. The Mark Foundation Institute for Integrated Cancer Medicine (MFICM) at the CRUK Cambridge Centre aims to integrate data that can be used to research different disease types. We focus on cancers that are especially difficult to treat - breast, ovarian, urological malignancies - integrating patient data from across different institutions and databases into a single platform in a collaboration between the University, Cambridge University Hospitals (CUH) and GE Healthcare.
