癌症診療資料庫的建置，是藉由醫院的癌症團隊就各類癌症診療的專業需要，提出建構各癌症的研究資料庫中所應該記錄的資料類型與內容的需求，以讓收錄的研究資料能夠符合各類癌症的特性並作為後續研究的基礎。本研究在建立癌症診療資料庫的核心系統-個案管理資料系統過程中，導入Light-Weight CMMI的開發模式，希望在建構此一大型癌症診療資料庫的過程中引入提升軟體品質的手法，以提升軟體品質，並在開發其他癌症診療次系統時，能減少重複開發，縮短開發時程，且能符合不同的癌症專科診療團隊的需求。
本研究所建構的癌症診療資料庫系統除了收錄癌症的診療記錄外，更收錄了個案的相關的追蹤記錄、基本資料等。這些資料在常見用來研究癌症的公開資料庫，如美國的SEER資料庫與FORDS資料庫中都無法呈現；但此類的資料在癌症診療過程中卻是值得參考的資訊：因可呈現病人的相關病史、治療過程記錄或治療完成後的追蹤記錄，協助醫師對於癌症診療的方式進行分析，有助於癌症病患診療的規劃，及後續的研究。
本研究開發過程中透過了專案規劃與專案監控的流程領域對整個專案進行管理也同時產出了[專案執行規劃書] 、[系統需求規格書] 、[系統設計規格書] 、[整合測試規格書]等Light-Weight CMMI要求的文件以提升軟體品質，以利後續的系統維護與更新修改。

This research is the first step toward building a new version of cancer diagnosis database. The motivations are that records of cancer cases are needed by the National Health Bureau, and for supporting medical staffs’ researches. Many physicians and case managers (nurses) have been raising their requirements for the database. After system analysis, we find that the core of such a data base would be the case management, which shows/records the continuing progress of a cancer patient. Though it sounds easy to keep the progress of a cancer patient, it is hard for medical staffs to have such records because of privacy issue. For example, open cancer databases, such as SEER and FORDS, depersonalizes each record, which makes each record independent to each other.
In addition, light-weight CMMI, an approach to improve software quality, is adopted during the development of the database. Four CMMI required documents, i.e. project plan, software requirement, system design, and integrated testing plan, were generated. It is hoped that using Light-Weight CMMI would improve the software quality and to reduce the cost/overhead in developing other subsystems of the cancer diagnosis database.
