http://gmt.genome.wustl.edu/somatic-sniper/current/

Software program to identify single nucleotide positions that are different between tumor and normal (or, in theory, any two bam files). It takes a tumor bam and a normal bam and compares the two to determine the differences. It outputs a file in a format very similar to Samtools consensus format. It uses the genotype likelihood model of MAQ (as implemented in Samtools) and then calculates the probability that the tumor and normal genotypes are different. This probability is reported as a somatic score. The somatic score is the Phred-scaled probability (between 0 to 255) that the Tumor and Normal genotypes are not different where 0 means there is no probability that the genotypes are different and 255 means there is a probability of 1 ? 10(255/-10) that the genotypes are different between tumor and normal. This is consistent with how the SAM format reports such probabilities. It is currently available as source code via github or as a Debian APT package.

Collaborative neuro-oncology research program with a tissue repository (tumor bank) containing a wide range of clinical specimens, which they make available to researchers in order to study the effects of new drugs on a large number and wide range of tumor specimens. They provide highly coordinated, complex care in neurosurgery, radiation oncology, medical oncology, and neurology to patients afflicted with tumors of the brain and spine by combining the newest technologies and treatments available anywhere in the world. The program is formed from a multidisciplinary group with a goal of helping patients navigate the complex issues surrounding brain and spinal cancer care. The researchers are working to increase the number of targets that could be considered for anti-angiogenesis therapy. Many of their studies focus on the blood vessel cells (endothelial cells) themselves, which, unlike tumor cells, rarely mutate and so might be less likely to become resistant to therapy and are also more easily reached through the bloodstream. Their researchers are also attempting to better understand the changes in the blood-brain barrier (BBB) that are associated with fluid accumulation and brain swelling (edema) in neuro-oncology patients. Normal brain tissue is shielded from the rest of the body by the BBB. This barrier is composed of very tight blood vessels that prevent most substances from entering the brain. Brain tumors have a leaky BBB ����?? this feature can be used to identify tumors on MRI scans. They have identified specific molecules that appear to be associated with the leaky, abnormal vessels while the normal blood vessels with intact BBB produce these molecules at very low levels or not at all. Inhibiting the function of these molecules may help control or prevent disruption of the BBB and limit cerebral edema in brain tumor patients, as well as patients suffering from stroke or traumatic brain injury.

The Computational Biology Core supports applications to genomics, genetics and molecular biology. Core faculty have expertise in study design, protocol and proposal development and review, data analysis, and publication of results. Support for Cancer Center investigators participating in established Site Committees is typically handled by the faculty member assigned to that committee. Other requests can be directed to the consulting service request page maintained by the UCSF Clinical & Translational Science Institute (CTSI). These requests will then be assigned to a Core faculty member. Basic consulting services are generally provided free of charge to Cancer Center Members. Members requiring frequent assistance are encouraged to provide regular salary support to a Core statistician when possible to support more extensive requests and for long-term projects. Services: * Study Design * Guidance on Study Conduct * Data Analysis and Reporting of Study Results * Teaching resources

The Incidence Registry contains the basic data items collected from clinicians and pathologists, as well as from administrative discharge and mortality sources. It is updated continuously with information on both new cases, as well as cases diagnosed in previous years. All medical doctors in the country are instructed by law to notify new cancer cases. Clinical Registries: Registration of treatment and follow-up of Norwegian cancer patients. Clinical registries comprehensive registration schemes dedicated to specific cancers have been established to include detailed information on diagnostic measures, therapy, and follow-up. Cancer Statistics: Database of cancer statistics. The Cancer Registry of Norway is maintained by the Institute of Population-based Cancer Research and established in 1951. It is one of the oldest national cancer registries in the world. This, combined with the unique personal identification number used in Norway, makes the Cancer Registry''s data suitable, also internationally; by establishing new knowledge through research and spreading information on cancer.

The UCSF Helen Diller Family Comprehensive Cancer Center combines basic science, clinical research, epidemiology/cancer control, and patient care throughout the University of California, San Francisco. UCSF''s long tradition of excellence in cancer research includes, notably, the Nobel Prize-winning work of J. Michael Bishop and Harold Varmus, who discovered cancer-causing oncogenes. Their work opened new doors for exploring genetic mistakes that cause cancer, and formed the basis for some of the most important cancer research happening today. * Basic Scientific Research: From understanding normal cellular processes and replication to discovering the underlying molecular and genetic causes of cancer when these processes go awry, UCSF researchers are committed to moving scientific insights beyond model systems and pursuing their relevance for clinical oncology and cancer prevention. * Clinical Research: Clinical scientists explore how greater understanding of fundamental biological events can be transformed into clinically relevant tools. New forms of cancer treatment, as well as innovations in diagnosis and prognosis, undergo rigorous evaluation for safety and efficacytranslating into improved patient outcomes and hope for the future. * Patient Care: The Helen Diller Family Comprehensive Cancer Center provides superlative cancer patient care at four San Francisco medical centers: UCSF Medical Center at Mount Zion; UCSF Medical Center at Parnassus; San Francisco General Hospital; and the San Francisco Veterans Affairs Medical Center. * Population Science: Cancer population sciences at UCSF includes a broad range of research on the causes of new cancers and the sickness and death due to the disease in order to develop ways to improve the prevention and early detection of cancer as well as the quality of life following diagnosis and treatment for all of Northern California''s diverse populations.
