IGC partners with Piper Cancer Center, Arizona Cancer Center
, A non-profit research foundation based in downtown Phoenix, has partnered with The Virginia G. Piper Cancer Center at Scottsdale Healthcare and the Arizona Cancer Center.The two cancer centers will provide IGC with cancer tissue samples to help in the nonprofit’s study of the disease.
The consortium is working as part of an ongoing study called the Cancer Genome Atlas Project, being led by the National Institutes of Health.
Both centers will collect cancer tissue samples and data about clinical outcomes to help in furthering research of the disease.
IGC will use the tissues to help understand the molecular basis of cancer through genome analysis and genome sequencing.
The aim is to improve the ability to diagnose, treat and prevent cancer.

Virginia G. Piper Cancer Center at Scottsdale Healthcare and Arizona
Phoenix, Ariz. (June 22, 2011) –The Virginia G. Piper Cancer Center at Scottsdale Healthcare and the University of Arizona Cancer Center announced today that the institutions have agreed to collaborate with The International Genomics Consortium (IGC) to serve as a critical network Tissue Source Site (TSS) to provide cancer tissue samples for analysis in the National Institutes of Health’s (NIH’s) historic project tlas project (TCGA).
The Virginia G. Piper Cancer Center at Scottsdale Healthcare and the Arizona Cancer Center will provide cancer tissue samples under uniform and standardized conditions and also collect specific long-term clinical outcome data to facilitate research into the underlying cancer mechanisms.
IGC’s Expression Project for Oncology (exp O ) has combined its network and mission with TCGA to help create a comprehensive and coordinated effort to accelerate the understanding of the molecular basis of cancer through the application of genome analysis technologies, including large-scale genome sequencing.
The overarching goal of TCGA is to improve our ability to diagnose, treat, and prevent cancer. TCGA is one of the largest initiatives to date to analyze such a wide array of cancers with so many different genomic analyses ranging from sequencing to methylation studies.
The genomic blueprints of each cancer will be available on the web for all scientists to have access to for translational discoveries. TCGA plans to analyze 500 tumors from each cancer type studied by the program and will provide the clinically annotated outcome data along with the complete genomic analysis on the web free of any intellectual property restrictions.
IGC plans to retain a portion of each sample that it provides to TCGA, if available, to expedite translational discoveries to help patient care, in work separate from TCGA. Additional information on TCGA may be found at http://cancergenome.nih.gov/ .
Scottsdale Healthcare has been a keystone partner of IGC since IGC’s formation and has been critical to IGC’s success in accelerating genomic discoveries to patient care. “We look forward to supporting The Cancer Genome Atlas project and other initiatives at IGC through the Virginia G. Piper Cancer Center and Scottsdale Healthcare Research Institute . This is the latest in a series of collaborative projects between Scottsdale Healthcare and IGC, another example of our commitment to advances in personalized medicine and treating the most challenging cancers,” said Mark Slater, Ph.D., Vice President, Research, Scottsdale Healthcare.
