San Antonio 1000 Cancer Genome Project

San Antonio 1000 Cancer Genome Project This bold initiative will perform whole genome sequencing on tumors for patients with the 10 most common cancers in San Antonio.

An open-science approach project to accelerate cancer research through better understanding of the whole problem by performing whole genome sequencing on fresh cancerous and non-cancerous tissue samples. The genomic data will be linked to the patients' clinical course, in a manner that protects confidentiality, and will help researchers everywhere better understand which genetic errors are important for prognosis, which respond to currently available therapy, and which may be important in the future to develop targeted treatment necessary to treat cancer effectively. Lastly, since no single-institution of research has all the answers, we are going to make this data freely available worldwide via the Internet so that researchers far and wide can study the relationships between the genetic alterations and the clinical outcome. This will be an invaluable resource for cancer researchers and physicians across the globe and will bring fresh ideas from outside the current cancer research community. To accomplish this project we have assembled the largest team of cancer surgeons, pathologists, researchers, and oncologists with one goal in mind --to accelerate cancer research through a better understanding of the whole problem.

BREAKING NEWS. Legendary Spur, Tim Duncan, has donated $247,000 to the San Antonio 1000 Cancer Genome Project. This is a one of a kind project that could forever change the way we think about cancer, and Tim Duncan is, again, a SanAntonio hero. From us to you, Tim Duncan, thank you! Please share and say "thank you" to Tim Duncan.

We are gearing up to make a major public announcement. Stay tuned! We have collected over 900 paired tumors. We are well on our way to changing the way we think about and treat cancer.

Thank you to our friends at Complete Genomics in California. We have contracted with them at a very favorable rate to perform our whole genome sequencing. We are preparing tumor pairs now to be sent off for sequencing!
