TCGA PanCancerAtlas Immune Response Working Group
The TCGA Immune Response Working Group (IRWG) comprised a diverse set of researchers devoted to exploring the relationship between tumors and the immune microenvironment and its impact on patient outcomes. This working group was one of many in the TCGA PanCancer Atlas initiative, each exploring a different aspect of cross-tumor type analysis. Each reported their findings in a series of articles in Cell Press in April 2018. Highlights of the study conducted by the IRWG (Thorsson et al., Immunity, 2018) include the following: six identified immune subtypes span cancer tissue types and molecular subtypes; immune subtypes differ by somatic aberrations, microenvironment and survival; multiple control modalities of molecular networks affect tumor-immune interactions.
