Description
Finland is wiring every radiotherapy center into one shared national data net for cancer care. Jan Seppälä and co-authors lay out that framework in a 2026 paper. The KaSARi net gathers full treatment plans with harm reports and patient-reported outcomes.
Recruitment opened in May 2025 at the lead hospital. By February 2026, 221 patients had joined at the lead center. A second center added 37 more that winter. The fifteen-year aim is about 29,000 patients in all. Data follow open find-and-reuse rules. Planned uses span AI outlining, dose forecasts, and outcome models. Consent gates every patient's entry.
