In this update, coinciding with the 17th anniversary of WCG, the research team summarizes the contribution of all volunteers to each type of tumor and signature size that Mapping Cancer Markers has studied so far.

I'll add that according to this September 2021 article on the Krembil takeover, out of 9.8 trillion markers analysed for Lung Cancer, 6 are now being validated clinically.
----------------------------------------"One of WCG's programs – Mapping Cancer Markers – identified and validated a diagnostic group of biomarkers for lung cancer, after processing over 9.8 trillion possible biomarkers. Using the various data points identified from the tissue samples and the processing power of WCG, these six markers are now being validated clinically." Happy birthday.

Thanks for the update!
Impressive numbers. I hope the end result will be just as impressive, and lead to some medical breakthroughs. |

Very nice to see updates like this that break down the numbers.
As the largest WCG project by far, I have high hopes that something clinically useful will come of everyone's enormous contributions. |
