Summary<\/h1>

This collection contains subjects from the National Cancer Institute\u2019s Clinical Proteomic Tumor Analysis Consortium<\/a> <\/u>\u00a0Sarcomas (CPTAC-SAR) cohort.\u00a0CPTAC is a national effort to accelerate the understanding of the molecular basis of cancer through the application of large-scale proteome and genome analysis, or proteogenomics. Radiology and pathology images from CPTAC patients are being collected and made publicly available by The Cancer Imaging Archive to enable researchers to investigate cancer phenotypes which may correlate to corresponding proteomic, genomic and clinical data.<\/span><\/p>

Imaging from each cancer type will be contained in its own TCIA Collection, with the collection name "CPTAC-<\/span>cancertype<\/em>". \u00a0Radiology imaging is collected from standard of care imaging performed on patients immediately before the pathological diagnosis, and from follow-up scans where available.\u00a0 For this reason the radiology image data sets are heterogeneous in terms of scanner modalities, manufacturers and acquisition protocols.\u00a0Pathology imaging is collected as part of the CPTAC qualification workflow. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>

All CPTAC cohorts are released\u00a0as either a single combined cohort, or split into\u00a0<\/span>Discovery<\/em>\u00a0and\u00a0<\/span>Confirmatory<\/em>\u00a0where applicable<\/span>.\u00a0 There are two main types of proteomic studies: discovery proteomics and targeted proteomics. The term "discovery proteomics" is in reference to "untargeted" identification and quantification of a maximal number of proteins in a biological or clinical sample. The term \u201ctargeted proteomics\u201d refers to quantitative measurements on a defined subset of total proteins in a biological or clinical sample, often following the completion of discovery proteomics studies to confirm interesting targets selected. Commonly used proteomic technologies and platforms are different types of mass spectrometry and protein microarrays depending on the needs, throughput and sample input requirement of an analysis, with further development on nanotechnologies and automation in the pipeline in order to improve the detection of low abundance proteins, increase throughput, and selectively reach a target protein\u00a0in vivo<\/em>. \u00a0Once the protein targets of interest are identified, high-throughput targeted assays are developed for confirmatory studies: tests to affirm that the initial tests were accurate. A summary of CPTAC imaging efforts can be found on the\u00a0<\/span>CPTAC Imaging Proteomics<\/a><\/u>\u00a0page.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>
