Explore Data

Explore key services that support clinicians and researchers in discovering and accessing EuCanImage data through dedicated subsections

EuCanImage provides a range of services to facilitate data discovery and access for the scientific and clinical community. In the following subsections, users can explore platform features specifically designed to support the retrieval of imaging and health data, and to understand the conditions under which such data can be accessed and used.

Data Repositories

Well-established European data infrastructures are used for long-term archive of the cancer imaging, -omics and health data collections that are being curated, annotated and harmonized in the consortium.

BioImage Archive

Explore EuCanImage datasets

Large-scale multi-cancer, multi-centre and multi-modal image repository.
Co-managed by Erasmus Medical Centre (EMC)

European Genome-Phenome Archive

Biological & health data repository for EuCanImage

Repository for archiving and sharing genetic, phenotypic, and clinical human data.
Co-managed by EBI-EMBL

Collected Variables

The full list of non-imaging variables included in the EuCanImage collections are described in the catalogue, together with its availability in each dataset and some aggregated statistics displaying ranges, distributions, etc.

This is a summary table of the clinical and epidemiological variables collected.

Variable	Description	Type
Sex	Biological sex of the patient (male/female).	Clinical
Age at diagnosis	Patient's age when the cancer was diagnosed.	Epidemiological
Radiotherapy	Whether the patient received radiation therapy as part of treatment.	Clinical
Surgery	Whether surgical treatment was performed.	Clinical

Data Access

While the EuCanImage platform provides access to a comprehensive catalogue of imaging and related datasets, access requests for controlled data are not handled directly by the project. Instead, visitors are directed to the appropriate data repositories hosting the datasets of interest. For more information, please refer to the Data Catalogue section.
