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.
