Proteogenomic Characterization of Small Cell Lung Cancer: A Pathway to Personalized Medicine

Small cell lung cancer (SCLC) is an aggressive form of lung malignancy with historically poor prognoses and limited options for targeted treatment. The low availability of suitable biospecimens has also hampered large molecular characterization efforts.


Deciphering the Tumor Microenvironment: A Proteogenomic Pan-Cancer Analysis

The tumor microenvironment (TME) is a complex network which plays a crucial role in cancer progression and treatment responses. In a recently published Pan Cancer analysis, the Clinical Proteomic Tumor Analysis...


Advancing Personalized Treatment Strategies for Patients with Acute Myeloid Leukemia

Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML) is a hematologic malignancy characterized by the rapid proliferation of abnormal myeloid cells in the bone marrow and blood. AML is known for its heterogeneity, presenting challenges in treatment and predicting patient outcomes.

Improving Cholangiocarcinoma Subtype Classification Unveils Therapeutic Opportunities

Intrahepatic cholangiocarcinomas (iCC) pose a diagnostic and treatment challenge due to their rarity and inter/intrapatient heterogeny.


Revolutionizing Liver Cancer Treatments: The Power of Organoid Models

Proteogenomic characterization of patient tissues has enriched our understanding of liver cancer, uncovering potential therapeutic targets, new subtypes, and offering hope for more effective treatments. However, there remains a gap in translating these findings into clinical practice.


The Cancer Imaging Archive Releases AI-Ready CPTAC Imaging Annotations to Facilitate Imaging-Omics Cancer Research

The Cancer Imaging Archive (TCIA), managed by the National Cancer Institute's Cancer Imaging Program (CIP), collects, curates, and hosts digital histopathology and standard-of-care radiology imaging from CPTAC-enrolled patients to provide data for imaging-omics research.    Algorithmic analysis of...


Illuminating Endometrial Carcinoma through Proteogenomics and Deep Learning

Recent strides in the field of genomics, exemplified by initiatives like The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA), have illuminated the genetic landscape of endometrial carcinoma (EC). The identification of four distinct EC...


Introducing a Suite of Pan-Cancer Multi-omic Papers from CPTAC

Researchers from the National Cancer Institute’s (NCI) Clinical Proteomic Tumor Analysis Consortium (CPTAC) have produced a resource of global proteomic and post-translational modifications, whole genome and whole exome sequencing, miRNA and totalRNA sequencing, DNA methylation, imaging, and clinical...


Novel 64-Protein Signature Predicts Treatment Response in High-Grade Serous Ovarian Cancer

In an effort recently published in Cell, CPTAC researchers aimed to identify patients with high-grade serous ovarian cancer (HGSOC) who may not respond to standard therapies. At present, there is no way...
