The Beacon Wiki: Mapping oncological information across the European Union
The Beacon Wiki represents a significant step in addressing disparities in oncological data access and advancing cancer care and research in Europe. By providing comprehensive metadata on cancer-related data sources, Beacon Wiki empowers stakeholders and promotes collaboration in cancer care and research. Continuous efforts are needed to enhance data accessibility and engagement from database providers, ultimately improving data-driven decision-making and patient outcomes in the EU.
