# BRCAFem: A database for breast cancer research

## TL;DR

BRCAFem is a new database that gathers breast cancer genes, drugs, datasets, and general information to help researchers and practitioners.

## Contribution

BRCAFem is a novel integrated database compiling breast cancer-related genes, drugs, datasets, and educational resources.

## Key findings

- BRCAFem includes 1220 breast cancer genes and 82 FDA-approved drugs.
- The database provides 33 sequencing and imaging datasets.
- It also offers global statistics, risk factors, treatment options, and recent research updates.

## Abstract

Amid extensive breast cancer research, valuable data and findings often remain scattered across published literature, databases and
web resources, posing challenges for researchers and practitioners in curating specific datasets, genes and relevant information. Hence,
we developed BRCAFem (BReast CAncer of Females), an integrated database for breast cancer research. BRCAFem includes 1220 breast cancer
genes, 82 FDA-approved breast cancer prevention and treatment drugs and 33 sequencing and imaging datasets. Additionally, BRCAFem
provides general information about breast cancer, global statistics, risk factors, treatment options and blogs related to recent updates
in breast cancer research.
