Hundreds of individual human cancer genome sequences are expected to be published in 2010, and thousands per year after that. The International Cancer Genome Consortium (ICGC) was launched with the aim of keeping track of the data relating to large-scale cancer genome studies of all major cancers in adults and children — a total of 50 different cancer types and/or subtypes. In this issue the ICGC team ( http://www.icgc.org ) spells out the policies and planning for the project. The International Cancer Genome Consortium (ICGC) was launched to coordinate large-scale cancer genome studies in tumours from 50 different cancer types and/or subtypes that are of clinical and societal importance across the globe. Systematic studies of more than 25,000 cancer genomes at the genomic, epigenomic and transcriptomic levels will reveal the repertoire of oncogenic mutations, uncover traces of the mutagenic influences, define clinically relevant subtypes for prognosis and therapeutic management, and enable the development of new cancer therapies.
