Cancer Survival Analysis01:21

Cancer Survival Analysis

862
Cancer survival analysis focuses on quantifying and interpreting the time from a key starting point, such as diagnosis or the initiation of treatment, to a specific endpoint, such as remission or death. This analysis provides critical insights into treatment effectiveness and factors that influence patient outcomes, helping to shape clinical decisions and guide prognostic evaluations. A cornerstone of oncology research, survival analysis tackles the challenges of skewed, non-normally...

Mouse Models of Cancer Study02:43

Mouse Models of Cancer Study

4.7K
Mice have long served as models for studying human biology and pathology because of their phylogenetic and physiological similarity with humans. They are also easy to maintain and breed in the laboratory, and hence, many inbred strains are now available for research. Studies on mice have contributed immeasurably to our understanding of cancer biology.
The development of transgenic, knockout, and knock-in mice has led to an exponential increase in their use as model organisms in research,...

Cancer-Critical Genes II: Tumor Suppressor Genes

8.0K
Genes usually encode proteins necessary for the proper functioning of a healthy cell. Mutations can often cause changes to the gene expression pattern, thereby altering the phenotype.
When the function of certain critical genes, especially those involved in cell cycle regulation and cell growth signaling cascades, gets disrupted, it upsets the cell cycle progression. Such cells with unchecked cell cycles start proliferating uncontrollably and eventually develop into tumors.
Such genes that act...

Cancer Prevention02:59

Cancer Prevention

6.5K
Several factors can increase the risk of cancer in an individual. About 50% of cancer cases can be prevented by adopting a healthy lifestyle, regular exercise, eating healthy, and following a modest cancer prevention diet. Epidemiological studies have consistently shown that populations with vegetable and fruit-rich diets have reduced the incidence of cancer. On the other hand, populations who have a diet rich in animal fat, red meat, junk food, or high calories are predisposed to cancer.
Some...

Rous Sarcoma Virus (RSV) and Cancer01:03

Rous Sarcoma Virus (RSV) and Cancer

5.2K
Rous Sarcoma virus or RSV was discovered by F. Peyton Rous in the year 1911 as a filterable transmissible agent that could cause tumors in chickens. He won a Nobel Prize for this discovery in 1966. His experiments clearly demonstrated that some cancers could be caused by infectious agents and led to the discovery of many more cancer-causing viruses in animals as well as humans.
RSV is a retrovirus that contains two copies of a plus-strand  RNA genome. Its genome consists of four main open...

Area of Science:

  • Health Services Research
  • Cancer Research
  • Data Science

Background:

  • Cancer data analysis in Ontario was historically restricted to secure physical locations like the Institute for Clinical Evaluative Sciences (ICES).
  • This traditional approach presented significant limitations in terms of speed, cost, and research capacity.
  • Patient privacy and confidentiality were maintained, but research scalability was hindered.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To establish a novel cancer data release mechanism to overcome previous limitations.
  • To enhance the accessibility of cancer-related administrative data for a wider research community.
  • To foster innovation and attract new researchers to the field of cancer health services research.

Main Methods:

  • A joint initiative was established in 2008 by the Ontario Institute for Cancer Research, Cancer Care Ontario, and ICES.
  • The initiative focused on creating a new data release mechanism named "cd-link."
  • The goal was to make cancer data more widely available.

Main Results:

  • The implementation of cd-link aimed to accelerate data analysis processes.
  • Increased data accessibility was intended to reduce research costs.
  • The initiative was designed to accommodate a greater capacity for cancer research in Ontario.

Conclusions:

  • The cd-link initiative represents a significant advancement in cancer data accessibility.
  • Wider data availability is expected to stimulate new research insights and collaborations.
  • This mechanism is poised to attract a broader range of researchers to cancer health services research.
