Data from the Applied Proteogenomics OrganizationaL Learning and Outcomes Lung Squamous Cell Carcinoma [APOLLO-5-LSCC] Collection

This collection contains subjects from the National Cancer Institute’s Applied Proteogenomics OrganizationaL Learning and Outcomes (APOLLO) network Lung Squamous Cell Carcinoma cohort. The APOLLO network is a collaboration between NCI, the Department of Defense (DoD), and the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) to incorporate proteogenomics into patient care as a way of looking beyond the genome, to the activity and expression of the proteins that the genome encodes. The emerging field of proteogenomics aims to better predict how patients will respond to therapy by screening their tumors for both genetic abnormalities and protein information, an approach that has been made possible in recent years due to advances in proteomic technology. Radiology and pathology images from APOLLO patients are being collected and made publicly available by The Cancer Imaging Archive to enable researchers to investigate cancer phenotypes that may correlate to corresponding proteomic, genomic, and clinical data.
