The present situation and future of real world research in diagnosis and treatment of breast cancer / 中华外科杂志

ABSTRACT

Real-world study is increasingly becoming an important source of evidence for changing clinical practice, especially for clinical problems that can't be randomized. In recent years, real-world research in the field of breast cancer has gradually became a boom. Existing research results have begun to assist in the epidemiological analysis of breast cancer, promote the approval of rare diseases diagnosis and indication, and promote the analysis of real-world treatment status and evaluation of curative effects. Chinese scholars have also established databases and carried out relevant real-world research, providing real-world evidence for clinical practice in China. But domestic research is still in its infancy. The number of real-world research literature published by domestic scholars is relatively small, and there is a lack of pragmatic randomized clinical trial and real-world research for decision-making. In the future, we need to take advantage of the abundant diagnosis and treatment resources, further improve the database, and carry out real-world study on drug development based on population data in China.
