OHDSI Oncology Workgroup

Problem Space and Goals

Oncology is a part of medicine, and cancers are diseases. Therefore, the OMOP CDM and the OHDSI best practices and approaches work perfectly well for cancer, but the disease presents specific challenges requiring attention during ETL and analysis. Cancer is not a single disease but differs by histology, location, stage, biomarkers, and numerous other factors. It evolves over time, influencing prognosis and complications, and is managed through complex treatment regimens.

The Oncology Workgroup provides analyses, discussions, prototypes and solutions for these challenges.
