Summary

Excerpt

The The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) Head-Neck Phenotype Research Group is part of the Cancer Imaging Program (CIP) TCGA Radiology Initiative focused on analyzing images from

the 

the TCGA-Head and Neck Squamous Cell Carcinoma (HNSC) collection. Multiple modalities of images which correlate to the head-neck tissue data in

the

the TCGA Data Portal

are continuing to be

 are being gathered for submission to The Cancer Imaging Archive (TCIA).

According to the TCGA page on Head and Neck Squamous Cell CarcinomaHNSC, researchers hope to make the following types of discoveries:

  • Determine whether patterns of genomic changes are different between tumors that metastasize to other regions of the body and tumors that remain in the region of origin.
  • Identify genomic differences that distinguish tumors across age and smoking history.
  • Identify genomic differences that are associated with viral infection.

Research and Publications

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

TCIA Data Usage Policies and Restrictions

Projects have not reached 100 imaging cases; Please check with cancerimagingarchive@mail.nih.gov prior to any publication.

Please contact us at cancerimagingarchive@mail.nih.gov if you have any questions about these policies.

...

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 This will generate increased participation in the building of these multi-institutional data sets that become an open community resource.   Current TCGA-HNSC source sites include:

...

This group has not yet been established.   We will provide a point of contact for the group from the ISS site(s) as soon as possible to address scientific questions or requests to collaborate with their group.
