Enhanced Data Sharing Working Group Recommendation: The Cancer Data Ecosystem

Our ability to accelerate progress towards improving cancer outcomes demands that researchers, clinicians, and patients across the country collaborate in sharing their collective data and knowledge about the disease. The Vice President’s National Cancer Moonshot Initiative provides an unprecedented opportunity to create a national infrastructure for sharing cancer data. This infrastructure will support the development of a Cancer Data Ecosystem that will enable all participants across the cancer research and care continuum to contribute, access, combine and analyze diverse data that will enable new discoveries and lead to lowering the burden of cancer in our country.
