Millions of patient records, detailing each cancer and the method of treatment used, will be collated to form the biggest cancer registration service in the world.
The system is expected to lead to each patient benefiting from highly personalised treatments.
It will bring together clinical information on all 350,000 cancers diagnosed in England and will include more than 11 million historical records of cases from as far back as 30 years ago, The Times reported.
Cancer specialists across the country will then, for the first time, be able to draw on the extensive bank of detailed clinical data when working out how to treat each new case.
