MUSC Health Hereditary Cancer Genetics Research Group

The MUSC Health Hereditary Cancer Clinic is actively involved in research and educational efforts to help increase the understanding of cancer genetics and decrease cancer risk when gene mutations are present.

Our ultimate goal is to decrease the morbidity and mortality of cancer.

Active research includes:

Using Artificial Intelligence/Natural Language Processing to help organize a Cancer Genetics KnowledgeBase and build Clinical Decision Support Tools 

Using Graph Database technology for Cancer Susceptibility Gene Visualization to enhance education and understanding of cancer genetics

Organizing and mapping disparate data sources to a Central Breast Cancer Database that is used for Machine Learning, clinical care and research

Systematic reviews of the risk of cancer for each gene-cancer association
