Overview

To better understand the use of real-world data to support oncology research globally, this targeted literature review evaluated published real-world data (RWD) sources for oncology during 2019-2024 in France, Germany, Italy, Spain and the United Kingdom.

Researchers found that published RWD sources were primarily limited to studies designed for a specific purpose, rather than more general resources to support a variety of objectives.

Why this matters

As real-world data's impact continues to expand both in the U.S. and internationally, there is a need for more standardized sources of oncology RWD to facilitate advanced research globally.
