Free Cancer Research Tools Available

November 12, 2008

The National Cancer Institute for Bioinformatics and Information Technology has released for public use version 1.1 of its caBIG Clinical Trials Suite of applications.

The open source, free applications have been developed by organizations in the cancer research community. They are part of the "cancer BioMedical Informatics Grid," known as caBIG, a Web-based national network for the community launched in 2007 after several years of testing.

The applications being made available support such clinical trials activities as registering and tracking patients; managing patient activities; tracking adverse events; reviewing laboratory data; and analyzing collected data.

The applications are intended for use by clinical researchers. They can be downloaded in a bundle or as individual components at http://ncicb.nci.nih.gov/download/cctslicenseagreement.jsp. More information on caBIG is available at https://cabig.nci.nih.gov/.
