Summary

Excerpt
 

The TCGA -PRAD Prostate Phenotype Research Group is part of the CIP TCGA Radiology Initiative focused on analyzing images from the TCGA-PRAD collections. Images which correlate to the Prostate Adenocarcinoma tissue data in the TCGA Data Portal are continuing to be gathered for submission to TCIA.

...

  • Analyze correlation between Gleason score and other tumor characteristics to better define aggressiveness
  • Examine samples from majority populations and compare to underrepresented populations, such as African Americans who have the highest incidence rate of prostate cancer
  • Integrate the genomic information with the proteomic data

Research and Publications

Per TCGA and TCIA Guidelines formal permission requests are still required to submit publications using TCGA-PRAD data.  Please see the following links for more information about the freedom-to-publish criteria for these data sets:

Please contact us at cancerimagingarchive@mail.nih.gov if you have any questions about these policies, or would like to join our public mailing list and be kept in the loop about new data releases and other related news as this effort moves forward.

TCGA-PRAD Marker Paper and Image Source Sites (ISS)

Imaging Source Site (ISS) Groups will be populated and governed by participants from institutions that have provided imaging data to the archive for a given cancer type. Modeled after TCGA analysis groups, these groups are given the opportunity to publish a marker paper for a given cancer type per the aforementioned publication policy. It is hoped that this will generate increased participation in the building of these multi-institutional data sets that become an open community resource.  Current TCGA-PRAD source sites include:

Please contact Dr. Matthew Heller (hellermt@upmc.edu) if you have scientific questions you would like to direct to the TCGA-PRAD ISS or are interested in collaborating with their group.
