The The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) Head-Neck Phenotype Research Group is part of the Cancer Imaging Program TCGA Radiology Initiative focused on analyzing images from the TCGA-Head and Neck Squamous Cell Carcinoma (HNSC) collection. Multiple modalities of images which correlate to the head-neck tissue data in the TCGA Data Portal are being gathered for submission to The Cancer Imaging Archive (TCIA). |
According to the TCGA page on HNSC, researchers hope to make the following types of discoveries:
Per TCGA and TCIA Guidelines, formal permission requests are still required to submit publications using TCGA-HNSC data. Please see the following links for more information about the freedom-to-publish criteria for these data sets:

Imaging Source Site (ISS) Groups (which come from a subset of the originating Tissue Source Sites [TSS] ) 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, ISS groups are given the opportunity to publish a marker paper for a given cancer type per the guidelines in the table above. A slideset is also available that offers guidelines for Team development "best practices". This opportunity will generate increased participation in building these multi-institutional data sets as they become an open community resource. Current TCGA-HNSC source sites include:
