Data types

At every stage in a patient's care, right up to the administration of treatment, data is generated and can be collected for research purposes, while respecting the patient's rights to be informed and ensure that he or she does not object. Institut Curie's Health Data Warehouse integrates the health data of over 580,000 patients. Discover the type of data available at Institut Curie.
Clinical data, radiological imaging data, digitized slides and omics1 data... Over the past 25 years, 580,000 patients have been monitored at Institut Curie, generating almost 20 million medical documents.
Every day, thousands of new reports and data from hospital databases are collected in Institut Curie's Health Data Warehouse2. This data is collected in complete security, while respecting the patient's rights: to be informed and to ensure that he or she has not objected.
Types of data:
Clinical data:
- Demographic data
- Medico-administrative data (ISMP3, stays, etc.)
- Management data (diagnoses and procedures, treatments, biological results, etc.)
- Medical reports (textual data)
- Clinical trials database
- Retrospective database by pathology4 (breast, lung, sarcoma)
- Biological samples
Medical imaging tests:
- MRI
- CT scan
- PET-Scan
- Mammography
Digitized pathology slides
Omics data:
- Whole exome
- Whole genome
- RNA-Seq
- Single-cell
- Etc.
These data are intended to be used, in compliance with patients' rights, in several areas:
- Research projects (academic and industrial)
- Hospital activity management
- Precision medicine
- Data analysis and bioinformatics

Technology transfer
Our data offering
Institut Curie has a remarkable heritage of data, which was collected in a secure and regulated framework and which reflects the progressive digitization of 25 years of care for cancer patients. These first-class data are intended to be used as part of R&D collaborations to accelerate research and innovation in oncology.
1"Omics" data capture information on biological processes taking place at different scales of the cell (genomics, transcriptomics, proteomics, metabolomics).
2 Institut Curie's Health Data Warehouse is scheduled to go into official operation in 2025.
