Cancer Research

This skill provides comprehensive documentation for accessing the National Cancer Institute's Imaging Data Commons (IDC), a public repository of cancer imaging data. It teaches users how to query, download, and visualize radiology and pathology images (CT, MR, PET, slide microscopy) using the idc-index Python package, with guides for BigQuery advanced queries and DICOMweb integration.

This skill provides programmatic access to COSMIC (Catalogue of Somatic Mutations in Cancer), the world's largest cancer mutation database. It allows downloading mutation data, Cancer Gene Census lists, mutational signatures, gene fusions, and drug resistance information for cancer research and bioinformatics workflows.
