Cancer
A Disease of the Genome
Challenge in Treating Cancer:
 Every tumor is different
 Every cancer patient is different

 Johns Hopkins
> 18,000 genes analyzed for mutations
11 breast and 11 colon tumors
L.D. Wood et al, Science, Oct. 2007
 Wellcome Trust Sanger Institute
518 genes analyzed for mutations
210 tumors of various types
C. Greenman et al, Nature, Mar. 2007
 TCGA (NIH)
Multiple technologies
brain (glioblastoma multiforme), lung (squamous carcinoma),
and ovarian (serous cystadenocarcinoma).
F.S. Collins & A.D. Barker, Sci. Am, Mar. 2007
Large-Scale Studies of Cancer Genomes

 Heterogeneity within and across tumor types
 High rate of abnormalities (driver vs passenger)
 Sample quality matters
 Consent and controlled data access is complicated
Lessons learned

International Cancer Genome Consortium
Collect ~500 tumour/normal pairs from each of 50 different
major cancer types;
Comprehensive genome analysis of each T/N pair:
Genome
Transcriptome
Methylome
Clinical data
Make the data available to the research community & public.

Rationale for the ICGC
The scope is huge, such that no country can do it all.
Coordinated cancer genome initiatives will reduce
duplication of effort for common and easy to acquire
tumor samples and and ensure complete studies for
many less frequent forms of cancer.
Standardization and uniform quality measures across
studies will enable the merging of datasets,
increasing power to detect additional targets.
The spectrum of many cancers varies across the
world for many tumor types, because of environmental,
genetic and other causes.
The ICGC will accelerate the dissemination of
genomic and analytical methods across participating
sites, and the user community

ICGC
Goals, Structure,
Policies & Guidelines
http://goo.gl/sPGLQN

Primary Goal: coordinate efforts

Secondary Goal: disseminate knowledge

Policy
ICGC membership implies compliance with Core Bioethical
Elements for samples used in ICGC Cancer Projects:
http://goo.gl/TFrCmK
http://goo.gl/nYx6YG

POLICY:
The members of the International Cancer Genomics
Consortium (ICGC) are committed to the principle of rapid
data release to the scientific community.
http://goo.gl/TFrCmK

Publication Policy
The individual research groups in
the ICGC are free to publish the
results of their own efforts in
independent publications at any
time (subject, of course, to any
policies of any collaborations in
which they may be participating).

Moratorium:

Publication Policy

Where do you find that information?
We actually make it hard to find, but we are working on
that! (this is an example of where ICGC would like to do
what TCGA does!)
http://cancergenome.nih.gov/publications/publicationguidelines

Policy on Intellectual Property
All ICGC members agree not to make claims to
possible IP derived from primary data (including somatic
mutations) and to not pursue IP protections that would
prevent or block access to or use of any element of
ICGC data or conclusions drawn directly from those
data.

TCGA/ICGC users agreed:
… to keep all computer systems on which controlled
access data reside, or which provide access to such
data, up to date with respect to software and security
patches.
… to protect Controlled Access Data against disclosure
to unauthorized individuals.
… to monitor and control which individuals have access
to Controlled Access Data.

TCGA/ICGC users agreed:
… to destroy all copies of controlled access data after
controlled access privileges expires.
... to only use secure transfer protocols:
e.g. https and sftp
… to encrypt Controlled Access data in transfers and
