Summary

The TCGA Breast Phenotype Research Group is part of the CIP TCGA Radiology Initiative. The group began as an ad hoc multi-institutional research team dedicated to discovering the value of applying controlled terminology to the MR imaging features of patients with breast cancer.  This activity is currently in the early stage of development.  MR images which correlate to the Breast Invasive Carcinoma (BRCA) data in the TCGA Data Portal are currently being gathered for submission to TCIA.  In the mean time the group is beginning preliminary discussions around research methods and goals, as well as utilizing the existing Breast-Diagnosis collection as a training set their efforts.
