108 cases of the NCI’s Clinical Proteomic Tumor Analysis Program (CPTAC) Head and Neck Squamous Cell Carcinoma Discovery Study have been proteomically and genomically profiled! Each case includes HPV-negative, treatment naive and normal adjacent tissue, and includes proteomic ad phosphoproteomic data on the Proteomic Data Commons (PDC), as well as RNA-Seq, miRNA-Seq, WGS, WXS genomic data on the Genomic Data Commons (GDC).
May 5, 2020
50 new pathology slides from 33 new Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML) subjects are now available on the TCIA-CPTAC Pathology Portal. The April 2020 image release brings the total number of AML pathology slides to 120 from 88 subjects, with most of them also having both tumor blood and marrow imaging.
April 29, 2020
Scientists from the Clinical Proteomics Tumor Analysis Consortium (CPTAC) program developed a powerful tool to explore associations between multiple types of omics datasets. The LinkedOmics software collects genomic, transcriptomic and proteomic datasets from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) and CPTAC programs across 32 cancer types. Using the program, researchers have the ability to an...

In a study published on April 21, in Cell Reports Medicine, researchers with the National Cancer Institutes’ (NCI) Clinical Proteomics Tumor Analysis Consortium (CPTAC) take a comprehensive look at the root causes of ovarian high-grade serous carcinoma (HGSC). Through integrated proteomic and genomic analysis of these tumors and comparison to normal tissues, researchers propose new insights about more effective patient drug targets and
April 14, 2020
One of the missions of theClinical Proteomic Tumor Analysis Consortium (CPTAC) is to provide proteomic resources to the greater scientific community. So, we have great news to announce! CPTAC has added 150 "fit-for-purpose," multiplexed, mass spectrometry-based proteomic targeted assays to its Assay Portal!
April 7, 2020
It’s that time again! CPTAC radiology images have been released on the TCIA CPTAC Pathology Portal! Between conference calls and literature searches, take a look at the 38 new radiology and 8 new pathology images added to Portal – all for free!
March 27, 2020
Finding novel interactions from comprehensive genomics and proteomics (mass spectrometry generated) is made significantly easier with the help of a visual, interactive guide. Researchers from the Mount Sinai Protogenomic Data Analysis Center (PGDAC) team within the Clinical Proteomics Tumor Analysis Consortium (CPTAC) program have developed a new three-dimensional tool to explore novel interactions in the context of a specific cancer type.
March 23, 2020
NCI announces the launch of the NCI Proteomic Data Commons (PDC)! The PDC is a next-generation proteomics data repository within NCI’s Cancer Research Data Commons with corresponding genomics and imaging data sets to enable data access, analysis, and sharing for integrative research.
March 17, 2020
New histopathology slides available from CPTAC lung squamous cell carcinoma, lung adenocarcinoma and glioblastoma multiforme studies. 149 images from 28 new cases added in the month of February 2020 are publicly available on the TCIA CPTAC Pathology Portal!
March 10, 2020
Protein ubiquitylation is best known for its role in degradation, leading molecules to the cell’s recycle bin, but it also has roles in cellular processing and protein interactions. Unfortunately, research using proteomic techniques have been limited due to experimental and technical complications.
March 4, 2020
The Cancer Imaging Archive (TCIA) houses radiology and histopathology data for the CPTAC Program. There are over 1500 cases and with more than 6000 images…and counting…of 10 cancer types freely available for the public to view. Each case has complementary proteomic data through the Proteomic Data Commons and genomic data through the Genomic Data Commons, whic...

A study published Feb 13th in Cell provides an unprecedented look at the dozens of molecular steps that occur to bring about endometrial cancer, commonly known as uterine cancer. The study offers insights about how physicians might be able to better identify which patients will need aggressive treatment and which won’t, and offers clues about why a common treatment is not effective with some patients.
January 29, 2020
The Office of Cancer Clinical Proteomics Research (OCCPR) cares what you think about the Clinical Proteomic Tumor Analysis Consortium (CPTAC) program and all its offerings! Working with Clarivate Analytics to conduct a survey, we wanted to determine the effect of the CPTAC program on the proteogenomic research community. The evaluation provided the NCI with an objective, third-party assessment of CPTAC program implementation.
January 29, 2020
The addition of 367 new pathology slides and 51 new pathology subjects for lung squamous cell carcinoma is now available on the TCIA CPTAC Pathology Portal. Additional imaging data is also available for 10 cancer types including cutaneous melanoma, clear cell renal cell carcinoma, head & neck squamous cell carcinoma, glioblastoma multiforme, lung adenocarcinoma, ductal carcinoma, corpus endometrial carcinoma, acute myeloid leukemia (AML), cutaneous melanoma, and sarcoma tumor types.
January 28, 2020
Visualizing gene and protein expression from comprehensive genomics and proteomics (mass spectrometry generated) data is beneficial for researchers but often difficult to achieve. Researchers from the Mount Sinai PGDAC team within the CPTAC program have developed a new interactive data tool to query genes and proteins of interest in a visual format.
January 27, 2020
Using a single-needle biopsy and new technology for tumor diagnosis developed by Baylor College of Medicine and the Broad Institute of MIT and Harvard, researchers have been able to provide a more detailed and wider window into cancer biology, tumor type and the mechanisms of response and resistance to therapy than with conventional approaches.
