ICGC ARGO

Shares knowledge from cancer patient genomes and health-related data on a cloud-based system

ICGC ARGO will uniformly analyse specimens from 100,000 cancer patients with high-quality clinical data to address outstanding questions that are vital to our quest to defeat cancer. Over the next ten years, ICGC ARGO aims to deliver a million patient-years of precision oncology knowledge to the world — by making data available to the entire research community in a rapid and responsible way — to accelerate research into the causes and control of cancer.
