Summary
This collection contains subjects from the National Cancer Institute’s Clinical Proteomic Tumor Analysis Consortium Uterine Corpus Endometrial Carcinoma (CPTAC-UCEC) cohort. CPTAC is a national effort to accelerate the understanding of the molecular basis of cancer through the application of large-scale proteome and genome analysis, or proteogenomics. Radiology and pathology images from CPTAC patients are being collected and made publicly available by The Cancer Imaging Archive to enable researchers to investigate cancer phenotypes which may correlate to corresponding proteomic, genomic and clinical data.
Imaging from each cancer type will be contained in its own TCIA Collection, with the collection name "CPTAC-cancertype". Radiology imaging is collected from standard of care imaging performed on patients immediately before the pathological diagnosis, and from follow-up scans where available. For this reason the radiology image data sets are heterogeneous in terms of scanner modalities, manufacturers and acquisition protocols. Pathology imaging is collected as part of the CPTAC qualification workflow.
All CPTAC cohorts are released as either a single combined cohort, or split into Discovery and Confirmatory where applicable. There are two main types of proteomic studies: discovery proteomics and targeted proteomics. The term "discovery proteomics" is in reference to "untargeted" identification and quantification of a maximal number of proteins in a biological or clinical sample. The term “targeted proteomics” refers to quantitative measurements on a defined subset of total proteins in a biological or clinical sample, often following the completion of discovery proteomics studies to confirm interesting targets selected. Commonly used proteomic technologies and platforms are different types of mass spectrometry and protein microarrays depending on the needs, throughput and sample input requirement of an analysis, with further development on nanotechnologies and automation in the pipeline in order to improve the detection of low abundance proteins, increase throughput, and selectively reach a target protein in vivo. Once the protein targets of interest are identified, high-throughput targeted assays are developed for confirmatory studies: tests to affirm that the initial tests were accurate. A summary of CPTAC imaging efforts can be found on the CPTAC Imaging Proteomics page.
CPTAC Imaging Special Interest Group
You can join the CPTAC Imaging Special Interest Group to be notified of webinars & data releases, collaborate on common data wrangling tasks and seek out partners to explore research hypotheses! Artifacts from previous webinars such as slide decks and video recordings can be found on the CPTAC SIG Webinars page.
On January 14, 2020 Emily Kawaler presented the consortium's proteogenomic analyses of the CPTAC-UCEC. This deep dive into the UCEC genomic and proteomic datasets will help researchers better understand how they can be correlated with features derived from the imaging data. (Download the slides)

Accessing CPTAC publication cohorts
All CPTAC cohorts are released as either a single combined cohort, or split into Discovery and Confirmatory where applicable. In the case of CPTAC-UCEC there was a "Discovery Cohort" release. Images associated with these cases can be downloaded using the following links:
Accessing the Proteomic & Genomic Clinical Data
To access/download the clinical data on the Proteomic Data Commons (PDC) and Genomic Data Commons (GDC), once you have identified the data of your interest, move to the 'Clinical' tab on the browse page. Select the checkbox to select a specific row, all rows on the page or all pages and click the export clinical manifest button in CSV or TSV format on the GDC, or TSV or JSON format on the PDC.
A Note about TCIA and CPTAC Subject Identifiers and Dates
Subject Identifiers:
A subject with radiology and pathology images stored in TCIA is identified with a de-identified project Patient ID that is identical to the Patient ID of the same subject with clinical, proteomic, and/or genomic data stored in other CPTAC databases and web sites.
Dates:
The radiology imaging data is in DICOM format. To provide temporal context information aligned with events in the clinical data set for each patient, TCIA has inserted information in DICOM tag (0012,0050) Clinical Trial Time Point ID. This DICOM tag contains the number of days from the date the patient was initially diagnosed pathologically with the disease to the date of the scan. E.g. a scan acquired 3 days before the diagnosis would contain the value -3. A follow up scan acquired 90 days after diagnosis would contain the value 90.
The DICOM date tags (i.e. birth dates, imaging study dates, etc.) are modified per TCIA's standard process which offsets them by a random number of days. The offset is a number of days between 3 and 10 years prior to the real date that is consistent for each TCIA image-submitting site and collection, but that varies among sites and among collections from the same site. Thus, the number of days between a subject’s longitudinal imaging studies are accurately preserved when more than one study has been archived while still meeting HIPAA requirements.
