abstract = {Precision oncology is a rapidly evolving interdisciplinary
medical specialty. Comprehensive cancer panels are becoming
increasingly available at pathology departments worldwide,
creating the urgent need for scalable cancer variant
annotation and molecularly informed treatment
recommendations. A wealth of mainly academia-driven
knowledge bases calls for software tools supporting the
multi-step diagnostic process. We derive a comprehensive
list of knowledge bases relevant for variant interpretation
by a review of existing literature followed by a survey
among medical experts from university hospitals in Germany.
In addition, we review cancer variant interpretation tools,
which integrate multiple knowledge bases. We categorize the
knowledge bases along the diagnostic process in precision
oncology and analyze programmatic access options as well as
the integration of knowledge bases into software tools. The
most commonly used knowledge bases provide good programmatic
access options and have been integrated into a range of
software tools. For the wider set of knowledge bases, access
options vary across different parts of the diagnostic
process. Programmatic access is limited for information
regarding clinical classifications of variants and for
therapy recommendations. The main issue for databases used
for biological classification of pathogenic variants and
pathway context information is the lack of standardized
interfaces. There is no single cancer variant interpretation
tool that integrates all identified knowledge bases.
Specialized tools are available and need to be further
developed for different steps in the diagnostic process.},
