Summary/Abstract: Big data is an innovative tool with great potential to improve healthcare, especially in the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of oncological diseases – the second leading cause of mortality worldwide. With the increasing number of cases and high mortality rates, the analysis of electronic health records, genomic research, and clinical data creates opportunities for personalized medical interventions that aid in early cancer detection and the identification of high-risk groups. Despite advances in oncology and the introduction of new methods such as immunotherapy, implementing scientific discoveries into clinical practice is often hindered by organizational issues and a lack of coordinated health policies. Big data enables the development of evidence-based policies, optimization of screening programs, and real-time monitoring of intervention effectiveness. This is supported by successful examples worldwide, demonstrating that big data can be a key to more effective health policy.
