About the project and the dataset

This real-world exemplar project focuses on oncology research. Oncology research is one of the most important areas of life science, with a significant portion of clinical research being done in this field (around 50% of all clinical research). An even more important aspect is that mortality worldwide from oncological diseases is counted approximately at 10 million as reported by the World Health Organization (WHO); you can learn more at https://www.who.int/news-room/fact-sheets/detail/cancer.
