Summary

The TCGA-LGG Phenotype Research Group is part of the CIP TCGA Radiology Initiative focused on analyzing images from the TCGA-LGG collections. Images which correlate to the low grade glioma tissue data in the TCGA Data Portal are continuing to be gathered for submission to TCIA.

According to the TCGA page on Lower Grade Glioma, researchers hope to make the following types of discoveries with this data:

  • Define the gene expression patterns of adult lower grade gliomas as compared to pediatric cases that have been studied in other programs
  • Determine if there are genomic changes that correlate with malignancy
  • Examine genetic changes that emerge when lower grade glioma becomes to glioblastoma multiforme
  • Identify clinical features that are associated with a specific pattern of genomic changes

Research and Publications

Per TCGA and TCIA Guidelines formal permission requests are still required to submit publications using TCGA-LGG 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, or would like to join our public mailing list and be kept in the loop about new data releases and other related news as this effort moves forward.

TCGA-LGG Marker Paper and Image Source Sites (ISS)

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

  • Thomas Jefferson University
  • Henry Ford Hospital
