Huge Data-Sharing Project Launched

Abstract

Aiming to advance precision medicine in oncology and improve patient care, the American Association for Cancer Research has launched an international initiative known as AACR Project Genomics, Evidence, Neoplasia, Information, Exchange (GENIE). The venture will pool existing and future next-generation clinical sequencing data with longitudinal clinical outcomes and related pathology reports from several institutions in the United States, Canada, and Europe, to find new mutations, assess potential biomarkers, and identify patient populations that might benefit from existing treatments.
