This document discusses strategic objectives and activities of the National Cancer Institute's Center for Biomedical Informatics and Information Technology (NCI CBIIT). The key objectives are to reduce cancer risk, improve cancer outcomes, provide cancer information to the public, and enable precision oncology through data access and modeling. Specific activities mentioned include the Genomic Data Commons, cloud computing initiatives, clinical trials repositories, and the Tumor Genome Atlas project. TCGA has collected over 700 terabytes of genomic and clinical data on 20+ cancer types to date. The data provides a platform for understanding cancer drivers, molecular subtypes of cancers, and the implications of data sharing policies.
