Summary
Mayo Clinic Platform has enhanced its Platform_Orchestrate with the OMOP Oncology framework, enabling the organization of complex, unstructured cancer data into a standardized format conducive to analysis. This advancement will facilitate more efficient cancer research and improve clinical trial design by making essential data, such as tumor characteristics and pathology reports, more accessible for researchers. According to Dr. Elisabeth Heath, the ability to process and structure previously unmanageable data streams could significantly accelerate discoveries in cancer treatment. Additionally, the upcoming introduction of tokenization aims to connect de-identified patient data across health systems, offering researchers a comprehensive longitudinal view, which could further enhance the understanding of cancer progression and therapy outcomes.
