title: The NCI Drug Information System. 5. DIS Biology Module.
abstract: The NCI drug screening program tests over 10,000 chemicals per year for activity against cancer. The associated Drug Information System (DIS) captures all the raw testing data and provides for its validation. The large quantity of numeric data gathered during testing is maintained within the DIS in a database that is interactively searchable and automatically updated at regular intervals.
