Federated Data Sharing: The Future of Validating RECIST 2.0
The Challenge: Data Scarcity in iRECIST Development.
The evolution of Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (iRECIST) requires granular, high-quality tumor measurement data. Currently, the field faces a significant bottleneck regarding data availability, security and privacy concerns and logistical barriers.
To overcome these barriers, we are leveraging Federated Data Sharing.
It allows us to transition from “bringing the data to the code” to “bringing the code to the data.”
- Federated Approach: Data stays behind the local firewall of the host institution.
- Standardisation: Utilizes consistent workflows across different sites.
- Transparency: Built specifically for imaging and clinical data processing.
Our Goal: To create a secure, scalable data sharing system that allows researchers to validate RECIST and improve cancer treatment outcomes.
