The Cancer Genome Atlas-Colon Adenocarcinoma (TCGA-COAD) data collection is part of a larger effort to enhance the TCGA data set with characterized radiological images. The Cancer Imaging Program (CIP), with the cooperation of several of the TCGA tissue-contributing institutions, has archived a large portion of the radiological images of the COAD cases. |
Clinical, genetic, and pathological data resides in the TCGA data portal, while the radiological data is stored on The Cancer Imaging Archive (TCIA). The data utilizes the same TCGA patient identifiers in both repositories, allowing researchers to explore the correlations between tissue genotype and radiological phenotype. This collection within TCIA is related to the COAD disease type within TCGA.
The CIP is supporting multiple projects within the academic community to encourage cross disciplinary research, which utilizes the data provided in these resources. However, a TCGA-COAD Phenotype Research Group has not yet formed.
We would like to acknowledge the individuals and institutions that have provided data for this collection:
Brigham & Women's Hospital Boston, MA - Special thanks to Cheryl A. Sadow, MD and Seth Levine.
Roswell Park Cancer Institute, Buffalo NY - Special thanks to Charles Roche, MD; Ermalinda Bonaccio, MD; and Joe Filippini.
