Federated Data Sharing: The Future of Validating RECIST 2.0
The Challenge: Data Scarcity in iRECIST Development.
The evolution of Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (iRECIST) requires granular, high-quality tumor measurement data. Currently, the field faces a significant bottleneck regarding data availability, security and privacy concerns and logistical barriers.
Our Solution: The Kaapana Platform
To overcome these barriers, we are leveraging Federated Data Sharing through the Kaapana platform.
Why Kaapana?
Developed in Germany, Kaapana is an open-source toolkit for next-generation medical data analysis. It allows us to transition from “bringing the data to the code” to “bringing the code to the data.”
- Federated Approach: Data stays behind the local firewall of the host institution.
- Standardization: Utilizes Docker and Kubernetes for consistent workflows across different sites.
- Transparency: Built specifically for imaging and clinical data processing.
Our Goal: To create a secure, scalable data sharing system that allows researchers to validate iRECIST and improve cancer treatment outcomes.
