Cancer Informatics for Cancer Centers: Scientific Drivers for Informatics, Data Science, and Care in Pediatric, Adolescent, and Young Adult Cancer.

Cancer Informatics for Cancer Centers (CI4CC) is a grassroots, nonprofit
501c3 organization intended to provide a focused national forum for
engagement of senior cancer informatics leaders, primarily aimed at
academic cancer centers anywhere in the world but with a special emphasis
on the 70 National Cancer Institute-funded cancer centers. This consortium
has regularly held topic-focused biannual face-to-face symposiums. These
meetings are a place to review cancer informatics and data science
priorities and initiatives, providing a forum for discussion of the
strategic and pragmatic issues that we faced at our respective institutions
and cancer centers. 这里, we provide meeting highlights from the latest
CI4CC Symposium, which was delayed from its original April 2020 schedule
because of the COVID-19 pandemic and held virtually over three days
(九月 24, 十月 1, and October 8) in the fall of 2020. 此外
to the content presented, we found that holding this event virtually once a
week for 6 hours was a great way to keep the kind of deep engagement that a
face-to-face meeting engenders. This is the second such publication of
CI4CC Symposium highlights, the first covering the meeting that took place
in Napa, California, from October 14-16, 2019. We conclude with some
thoughts about using data science to learn from every child with cancer,
focusing on emerging activities of the National Cancer Institute’s
儿童癌症数据倡议.
