I got few questions from one of the OncoKB users who started to use OncoTree as their ontology resource. I think these questions are frequently asked and useful for our new users.
Questions to be considered(They all come from an user):
Why do you distinguish between “detailed tumor types” and “main tumor types” and why are the main tumor types not entered into the oncotree with separate nodes?
Do you have codes for the main tumor types, just like for the detailed tumor types? Or are you planning on assigning them in the future?
Why do you include so many main tumor types with the extension “, NOS”? These types are not included in the drop-down menu for the tumor types on the oncokb website. Would it make a difference to the results when using these NOS-terms as input to the web-api?
Do you have a mapping of the main tumor types onto NCI or UMLS as for the detailed tumor types?
Do you have a mapping for the tumor types onto the common SNOMED or ICD10 codes? Or do you have a suggestion on how to perform this mapping?
