Summary
This collection contains imaging, radiation therapy, and clinical data from 627 head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) patients at MD Anderson Cancer Center. Researchers at MDACC analyzed these patients' data as part of two separate research projects. 70 of the patients were selected for inclusion in both projects. This collection provides access to all data for the full set of patients involved in both projects. Download options for the individual studies are available by following the links in each project description below.
The first project screened 2840 consecutive patients with HNSCC treated with curative-intent RT at MD Anderson Cancer Center from 2003 to 2013. Patients with whole-body PET-CT or abdominal CT scans both before and after RT (n=215) were selected for the cohort. De-identified diagnostic imaging, radiation treatment planning, and follow up imaging are provided. Using cross sectional imaging, total body skeletal muscle and adipose content were calculated before and after treatment. All imaging data are subject- and date-matched to clinical data from each patient, including demographics, risk factors, grade, stage, recurrence, and survival. Open access to these data allows for inter-institutional comparisons of complete RT details in non-randomized patient populations, allowing for a more granular understanding of three dimensional factors that influence treatment effectiveness and toxicity sparing. More information about this study and links to download the corresponding patient subset of this collection including clinical data can be found in the "Data from Head and Neck Cancer CT Atlas" dataset.
The second project was intended to address the unmet need for integrating quantitative imaging biomarkers into current risk stratification tools and to explore the correlation between radiomics features –alone or in combination with clinical prognosticators- and tumor outcome. Clinical meta-data and matched baseline contrast-enhanced computed tomography (CECT) scans were used to build a cohort of 495 oropharyngeal cancer (OPC) patients treated between 2005 and 2012. Expert radiation oncologists manually segmented primary and nodal disease gross volumes (GTVp & GTVn). Structures were named per the American Association of Physicists in Medicine (AAPM) TG-263 recommendations, then retrieved in RT-STRUCT format. Matched patient, disease, treatment and outcomes data were obtained. Radiomics analysis was performed using an open-source institutionally-developed software that runs on Matlab platform. More information about this study and links to download the corresponding patient subset of this collection including clinical data can be found in the "Radiomics outcome prediction in Oropharyngeal cancer" dataset.

Note from the investigators: Some PET scans will include two PET AC files—one includes the head & neck portion of the exam, the other includes eyes-to-thighs. There is no file naming convention to distinguish between the two, so delineation may require the use of a DICOM viewer.

Corrected version of the Clinical Data from "Radiomics outcome prediction in Oropharyngeal cancer" (XLS) because the investigators noticed an error in some of the durations of the endpoints including the overall survival, local and regional control, and freedom from distant metastasis. The original excel sheet had errors because the formulas to calculate the duration for patients with events were not applied so we fixed this error and now all the durations are correct.
