TCGA’s Data Portal are continuing to be gathered for submission to The Cancer Imaging Archive (TCIA). |
According to the TCGA page on Lower Grade GliomaLGG, researchers hope to make the following types of discoveries with this data:
- Define the gene expression patterns of adult lower grade gliomas LGG as compared to pediatric cases that have been studied in other programs.
- Determine if there are genomic changes that correlate with malignancy.
- Examine genetic changes that emerge when lower grade glioma LGG becomes to glioblastoma multiforme.
- Identify clinical features that are associated with a specific pattern of genomic changes.
Research and Publications
Per TCGA and TCIA Guidelines, formal permission requests are still required to submit publications using TCGA-LGG data. Please see the following links for more information about the freedom-to-publish criteria for these data sets:
Data Source | Status |
|---|---|
TCGA Data Portal Publication Guidelines Publication limitations in place until 3/11/2014 | No restrictions; all data available without limitations |
Projects have not reached 100 imaging cases; Please check with cancerimagingarchive@mail.nih.gov Publication limitations in place until 6/30/2015; please check with help@cancerimagingarchive.net prior to any publication |
Please contact us at cancerimagingarchive@mailhelp@cancerimagingarchive.nih.govnet 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.

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 ISS 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 type per the guidelines in the table above. This opportunity will generate increased participation in the building of these multi-institutional data sets that as they become an open community resource. Current Current TCGA-LGG source sites include:
