The The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) Head-Neck Phenotype Research Group is part of the Cancer Imaging Program TCGA Radiology Initiative focused on analyzing images from the TCGA-Head and Neck Squamous Cell Carcinoma (HNSC) collection. Multiple modalities of images which correlate to the head-neck tissue data in the TCGA Data Portal are being gathered for submission to The Cancer Imaging Archive (TCIA). |
According to the TCGA page on HNSC, researchers hope to make the following types of discoveries:

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, ISS groups are given the opportunity to publish a marker paper for a given cancer type per TCGA Publication Guidelinestype per the guidelines in the table above. This opportunity will generate increased participation in building these multi-institutional data sets as they become an open community resource. Current TCGA-HNSC source sites include:
