How reliably is the anonymization? Based on very little reading, data can at least sometime be de-anonymized. If that becomes possible 5 years from now, what happens then to the data already made public? How will individual's privacy be protected?
- sulam 8y agoMy understanding is that these are pathology samples. I don't know what metadata may be associated with them, of course. Just the samples and the diagnoses would give very little for re-identification to work on.
