When to Use

Apply when researcher asks about:

• "What is the OncoTree code for [tumor description]?"
• "Find all subtypes of [cancer type]"
• "What cancers originate in [tissue]?"
• "I need the tumor type code for OncoKB annotation"
• "What is the TCGA/COSMIC code for [cancer]?"
• "List all CNS/Brain cancer subtypes"
• "What NCI code corresponds to glioblastoma?"
