Information relevant to cancer occurrence and clinical outcome is collected, stored in cancer databases , and analyzed using various techniques including epidemiology and statistics .
Clinical images are also under investigation.
Our final goal is to provide not only health professionals but also the public and cancer patients with information useful in the fight against cancer. Therefore, the technical aspects for data collection and dissemination are also within the scope of our research activities. Using the NCCH cancer patients database, the risk of second primary cancers were comprehensively evaluated. A positive association between the risk of second malignancy and family history was identified in lung cancer patients. A total of 195 families have been registered.
