Georgetown Lombardi Comprehensive Cancer Center has released a set of brain cancer biomedical data that includes brain imaging information. A report about the cache was published August 14 in Scientific Data.
The dataset, called REMBRANDT (Repository for Molecular Brain Neoplasia Data), is hosted and supported by Georgetown. It contains genomic information and diagnostic treatment and outcomes data (including brain scans) from 671 adult patients at 14 institutions.
REMBRANDT was created at the U.S. National Cancer Institute (NCI) by Dr. Howard Fine of NewYork-Presbyterian Hospital and Jean Claude Zenklusen, PhD, of the NCI. Fine and Zenklusen collected the data between 2004 and 2006; in 2015, the data were transferred to Georgetown, where they now reside in the Georgetown Database of Cancer (G-DOC).
