The InterLymph Data Coordinating Centre (DCC) provides centralized support for data harmonization, management, and analysis across participating studies within the InterLymph Consortium. The DCC serves as a core infrastructure component, enabling collaborative research through standardized data integration, coordination of pooled analyses, and secure data stewardship.

Role and Responsibilities

• Assemble and harmonize data from contributing InterLymph studies
• Develop and maintain shared data standards and documentation
• Support pooled and coordinated analyses across working groups
• Provide secure data management and analytic infrastructure

Data Collection Infrastructure

Data collection and study coordination within InterLymph are supported using REDCap (Research Electronic Data Capture), a secure, web‑based platform hosted by the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC).

The platform facilitates standardized data capture and coordination across participating studies.

Current scope

Number of Secondary Proposals: 96
