Summary
Excerpt |
---|
The Cancer Genome Atlas-Low Grade Glioma (TCGA-LGG) data collection is part of a larger effort to enhance the TCGA data set with characterized radiological images. The Cancer Imaging Program (CIP) with the cooperation of several of the TCGA tissue-contributing institutions has archived a large portion of the radiological images of the genetically-analyzed LGG cases. |
Clinical, genetic, and pathological data resides in the TCGA data portal, while the radiological data is stored on The Cancer Imaging Archive (TCIA). The data utilizes the same TCGA patient identifiers in both repositories, allowing researchers to explore the correlations between tissue genotype and radiological phenotype. This collection within TCIA is related to the LGG disease type within TCGA.
Note: Per TCGA Guidelines, formal permission requests are still required for publications using TCGA-LGG data. More info about TCGA Publication Policies can be found on the Data Usage Policies and Restrictions page.
CIP TCGA Radiology Initiative
The CIP is supporting multiple projects within the academic community to encourage cross disciplinary research, which utilizes the data provided in these resources. More can be learned about this effort on the TCGA Glioma Phenotype Research Group page.
