PARSIGHT for Cancer Analytics

PARSIGHT for Cancer Analytics

1. Background

   • LARGE DATA
     • Developed countries use data to assist in diagnostics, prescription and therapy
     • Developing countries - data / images shelved / destroyed after one time use. Out of sight, out of mind
     • IARC - estimated 14.1M Cancer Cases - 2012
       • International ongoing projects - Cancer Genome Project; Cancer Genome Atlas creating huge data by analyzing patients.
       • Developed countries (82% world pop) 8M cancer cases
       • By 2030 - growth and aging - 21.7M new cancer cases 13 million cancer deaths
         • Numbers may also rise changing lifestyles and environmental factors like poor diet, fewer pregnancies, physical inactivity and poor diet
     • COLLATION - ACCESS
       • Annonymising - Institution, Doctor, Patient data
         • Parsing (Analysis) and Storing
   • EXPERTISE
     • Isolated / Inaccesible
     • Replication required
