Summary

Pan-cancer analysis of whole genomes (ICGC/TCGA, Nature 2020) is a study catalogued by cBioPortal DataHub under the cancer-type code mixed. EvidenceHelix groups it with multiple or not classified from the title studies and lists it in the TCGA (other releases) collection.

This page is catalog metadata only: what the study is called and where to find it. It does not report findings, mutation frequencies or patient numbers, and it is not clinical guidance.

Study description

WGS changes cataloged in 2,583 whole-cancer genomes and their matched normal tissues across 38 tumor types. Source data from UCSC Xena (https://xenabrowser.net/datapages/?cohort=PCAWG%20(specimen%20centric)&addHub=https%3A%2F%2Fpcawg.xenahubs.net&removeHub=https%3A%2F%2Fxena.treehouse.gi.ucsc.edu%3A443) and ICGC Data Portal (https://dcc.icgc.org/releases/PCAWG/).
