Abstract

Precision medicine promises to improve the diagnosis and treatment of patients based on their genetic particularities. One of the fields in which clinicians aim to use precision medicine is oncology. The knowledge that is necessary to achieve a proper precision oncology application is dispersed over many data sources with heterogeneous data representations. In this work, we studied seven of the most relevant data sources used to deliver precision oncology and determined if the information contained in them is complete and concordant. The results herein reported indicate that this information is neither complete nor concordant. Thus, providing proper precision oncology is still an unresolved challenge for clinicians.
