Cancers are significant contributors to the mortality and health care expenditures. Cancer can be reduced and monitored by new information technology. Radio frequency identification or RFID is a wireless identification technology. The use of this technology can be employed for identifying and tracking clinical staff, patients, supplies, medications and equipments. RFID can trace and manage chemotherapy drugs. There are different types of RFID. Implantable RFID allowing a chip to be embedded under the skin and that store the cancer patient's identifier. These are concerns about applications of RFID. Privacy, security and legal issues are key problems. This paper describes capabilities, benefits and confidentiality aspects in radio frequency identification systems and solutions for overcoming challenges.
癌症是导致死亡和医疗保健支出的重要因素。借助新的信息技术可以减少并监测癌症。射频识别（RFID）是一种无线识别技术。这项技术可用于识别和跟踪临床工作人员、患者、物资、药物及设备。RFID能够追踪和管理化疗药物。RFID有不同类型。可植入式RFID允许将芯片嵌入皮下，用于存储癌症患者的识别信息。人们对RFID的应用存在一些担忧。隐私、安全和法律问题是关键所在。本文介绍了射频识别系统的功能、优势以及保密性方面的内容，还有应对挑战的解决方案。
