Japan's largest cancer medical care DB Starts ventures such as Kyoto University to operate at 20:26 on February 3

Venture companies established by Kyoto University and others will operate the largest database in Japan that collects information on cancer treatment from hospitals nationwide. Initially, seven cancer base hospitals will participate, and are expected to be used for safer and more effective treatment.

This was announced on the 3rd by a press conference held by Kyoto University and NTT in Tokyo.

The new database integrates and manages a variety of data, such as test results such as blood collection and detailed treatment information entered into electronic medical records at cancer treatment hospitals nationwide, as well as information on the physical condition of patients heard during interviews. It is possible.

The operation is performed by a venture company jointly established by Kyoto University and NTT, and the participating hospitals will be provided with dedicated software for inputting electronic medical records.

By using a database, doctors can refer to the latest medical information and use it for treatment. In addition, sharing data with pharmaceutical companies will help develop new drugs.

Initially, seven cancer-based hospitals nationwide, such as Keio University Hospital, will participate, and the number of hospitals will be further increased in the future, aiming to register data for about 20% of cancer patients in Japan.

"Students in each patient have different situations, so I think that detailed analysis and comparison of individual data will lead to better medical care," said Professor Manabu Muto of Kyoto University Graduate School of Medicine.
