Pre-clinical animal models of spontaneous metastatic cancer are infrequent; the few that exist are resource intensive because determination of the presence of metastatic disease, metastatic burden, and response to therapy normally require animal sacrifice and extensive pathological examination. We recently identified and characterized a patient derived xenograft model with metastatic potential, bladder xenograft...
Pre-clinical animal models of spontaneous metastatic cancer are infrequent; the few that exist are resource intensive because determination of the presence of metastatic disease, metastatic burden, and response to therapy normally require multiple timed cohorts with animal sacrifice and extensive pathological examination. We identified and characterized a patient derived xenograft model with metastatic potential, adenocarcinoma...

This collection contains imaging, radiation therapy, and clinical data from 627 head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) patients at MD Anderson Cancer Center. Researchers at MDACC analyzed these patients' data as part of two separate research projects.
Introduction:
Hepatocellular Carcinoma (HCC) is a leading cause of cancer-related death and can be considered a prototype of inflammation-derived cancer arising from chronic liver injury. The cell composition of the HCC tumor immune microenvironment (TiME) has a major impact on cancer biology as the TiME can have divergent capacities on tumor initiation, progress, and response to therapy. Recent development...
We have used CODEX to image 56 proteins simultaneously in 140 tissue regions from the tumor invasive front of 35 advanced-stage colorectal cancer (CRC) patients (17 patients with Crohn's-like reaction (CLR) - leading to high amount of tertiary lymphoid structures (TLS); and 18 patients with diffuse inflammatory infiltration (DII) and no TLS). These patients were selected from an initial cohort of 715 CRC patients....
The current standard of care for many patients with HER2-positive breast cancer is neoadjuvant chemotherapy in combination with anti-HER2 agents, based on HER2 amplification as detected by in situ hybridization (ISH) or protein immunohistochemistry (IHC). However, hematoxylin & eosin (H&E) tumor stains are more commonly available, and accurate prediction of HER2 status and anti-HER2 treatment response from...
Diffuse Large B-Cell Lymphoma (DLBCL) is the most common non-Hodgkin lymphoma worldwide. DLBCL is fatal without treatment, but early detection and therapy can cure up to 70% of patients. The current best prognostic classification, the National Comprehensive Cancer Network International Prognostic Index, is insufficient to guide therapeutic decision-making for individual patients. No tumor-intrinsic prognostication...
This collection contains clinical data and computed tomography (CT) from 137 head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) patients treated by radiotherapy. For these patients a pre-treatment CT scan was manual delineated by an experienced radiation oncologist of the 3D volume of the gross tumor volume. This dataset refers to the "H&N1" dataset of the study published in Nature Communications (http://doi.org/10.1038/ncomms5006). At...
