Data based cancer research and treatment systems and methods

A method and system for conducting genomic sequencing, the method comprising storing a set of user application programs wherein each of the programs requires an application specific subset of data, for each of a plurality of patients that have cancerous cells and that receive cancer treatment, obtaining clinical records data in original forms including cancer state information, treatment types and treatment efficacy information, storing the clinical records data in a semi-structured first database, for each patient, using a genomic sequencer to generate genomic sequencing data for the patient's cancerous cells and normal cells, storing the sequencing data in the first database, shaping at least a subset of the first database data to generate system structured data including clinical record data and sequencing data wherein the system structured data is optimized for searching, storing the system structured data in a second database, for each user application program, selecting the application specific subset of data from the second database and storing the application specific subset of data in a structure optimized for application program interfacing in a third database.
