Summary
The National Cancer Institute (NCI) Cancer Research Data Commons (CRDC) enhances cancer data accessibility by aggregating information and providing unified access across multiple data sources, overcoming key research hurdles.
Area of Science:
- Biomedical Informatics
- Cancer Research
- Data Science
Background:
- Cancer data is often difficult to find and use due to varied descriptive models and dispersed storage.
- Researchers face significant challenges in accessing and integrating diverse cancer datasets for discovery.
Purpose of the Study:
- To outline core services of the NCI Cancer Research Data Commons (CRDC).
- To improve the findability and accessibility of cancer research data.
- To address challenges related to data heterogeneity and dispersion.
Main Methods:
- Aggregating descriptive information from multiple studies into a single interface.
- Providing a unified access method spanning multiple data commons.
- Developing analysis platforms and tools to support data utilization.
Main Results:
- Established a centralized system for cancer data discovery.
- Enabled researchers to access data from various sources through a single point.
- Facilitated easier integration and analysis of disparate cancer datasets.
Conclusions:
- The NCI CRDC effectively addresses major obstacles in cancer data accessibility.
- The CRDC promotes efficient cancer data sharing and utilization for research advancement.
- Unified data access and standardized descriptions are crucial for accelerating cancer research discovery.

Cancer therapies are various modes of treatment, such as surgery, radiation therapy, and chemotherapy that are administered to cancer patients.
However, cancer treatments can pose several challenges, as therapies used to kill cancer cells are generally also toxic to normal cells. Moreover, cancer cells mutate rapidly and can develop resistance to chemical agents or radiation therapy. Besides, all types of cancer cells may not respond to the same therapy. Some cancer cells respond to one...

7.4K
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...

Cancers arise due to mutations in genes involved in the regulation of cell division, which leads to unrestricted cell proliferation. Modern science and medicine have made great strides in the understanding and treatment of cancer, including eradicating cancer in some patients. However, there is still no cure for cancer. This is largely due to the fact that cancer is a large group of many diseases.
