caBIG® is the first systematic and comprehensive approach to managing cancer information. From its inception, the priorities of the caBIG® program have been determined by the communities it is designated serve, which include dozens of academic and community cancer centers, thousands of scientists and clinical researchers, and countless related organizations that are "stakeholders" in the development of improved detection, diagnosis, treatment, and monitoring.
The caBIG® program was designed first to connect the network of 60+ NCI-designated Cancer Centers and then to link the rest of the larger biomedical cancer community. As of the end of 2008, more than 50 cancer centers and 150 other organizations are working collaboratively on caBIG®.
