The project aims to identify the markers associated with various types of cancer, and is analyzing millions of data points collected from thousands of healthy and cancerous patient tissue samples. These include tissues with lung, ovarian, prostate, pancreatic and breast cancers. By comparing these different data points, researchers aim to identify patterns of markers for different cancers and correlate them with different outcomes, including responsiveness to various treatment options. The project is focusing on 4 types of cancer, with the first focus being on lung cancer, and will move on to ovarian cancer, prostate cancer and sarcoma.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://secure.worldcommunitygrid.org/research/mcm1/overview.do|title=World Community Grid - Research - Mapping Cancer Markers|work=worldcommunitygrid.org|access-date=2013-11-16|archive-date=2014-04-16|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140416191925/https://secure.worldcommunitygrid.org/research/mcm1/overview.do|url-status=live}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=https://secure.worldcommunitygrid.org/forums/wcg/viewthread_thread,36146_offset,0#445500|title=World Community Grid - View Thread - MCM1 Update|work=worldcommunitygrid.org|access-date=2014-04-15|archive-date=2022-09-05|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220905052734/https://www.worldcommunitygrid.org/forums/wcg/viewthread_thread,36146_offset,0#445500|url-status=live}}</ref>
