Summary
The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) Breast Phenotype Research Group is part of the Cancer Imaging Project TCGA Radiology Initiative; an effort to build a research community focused on connecting cancer phenotypes to genotypes by providing clinical images matched to tissue specimens analyzed for The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA).Imaging Source Site (ISS) Groups are being formed 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 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-BRCA source sites include:
- Mayo Clinic
- Roswell Park Cancer Institute
- MemorialSloan-KetteringCancerCenter
- University of Pittsburgh/UPMC
- University of Miami Health System
The ISS group has also been collaborating with the University of Chicago to conduct quantitative MRI phenotyping efforts. Please contact Dr. Elizabeth Morris (morrise@mskcc.org) if you have scientific questions for TCGA-BRCA ISS or are interested in collaborating with their group.
