Summary
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.

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
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.
