Mouse Models of Cancer Study

6.7K
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,...

Area of Science:

  • Epidemiology
  • Clinical Trials
  • Data Management

Background:

  • The Prostate, Lung, Colorectal and Ovarian (PLCO) Cancer Screening Trial, initiated in 1993, has become a valuable epidemiologic cohort.
  • It has collected substantial data, including screening results, risk factors, and biospecimens, evolving beyond its initial screening focus.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To detail the data processing and management strategies employed by the Information Management Services (IMS) for the PLCO trial.
  • To highlight the complexity of data sources and the methods used to create usable analytic datasets.
  • To describe the analytic support provided for trial monitoring, data sharing, and research.

Main Methods:

  • Description of data processing workflows from raw data to accessible datasets by IMS.
  • Explanation of methods for handling diverse data sources: screening, questionnaires, vital status, diagnoses, treatment, and biospecimens.
  • Illustration of the construction of analytic data files for research purposes.

Main Results:

  • IMS successfully processes and manages vast quantities of complex data from the PLCO trial.
  • High-quality, accessible datasets are generated, supporting consistent and valid analyses.
  • A wide range of analytic support is provided, facilitating trial monitoring and research.

Conclusions:

  • Effective data management is crucial for the success of large-scale cancer screening trials like PLCO.
  • IMS plays a vital role in ensuring the integrity and utility of PLCO data for epidemiologic research.
  • The paper provides insights into data access and management for researchers utilizing PLCO data.
