Judged from the repository’s own field completeness (thresholds). “Not measured” means we have not probed that field for this record, not that the data lack it.

How complete all 27 clinical fields are - 10 informative for at least 80% of cases

A field counts as informative only when it holds a real value. “Not reported” blocks an analysis just as a missing field does. Fields marked 1:n can hold several records per case, so they show the share of cases with any record.

What it is good for

Written and checked by a reviewer, not generated from metadata.

No reviewed research questions yet. The measurements and field completeness above are machine-extracted and still useful for judging fit.

What it cannot tell you

Written by a reviewer against the source, not inferred from what is missing.

No reviewed limitations yet. Check the field completeness chart above before committing to an analysis. Low coverage on an endpoint you need is the most common blocker.

Who has used it

Articles that analyzed these data, counted separately from articles that only cited the paper. Only the first counts as reuse.

Articles that analyzed the data

None found. We searched Europe PMC for this dataset's accessions in article methods, results, tables, figures and data availability statements on 20 Sept 2026. That means our search found nothing, not that nobody has used these data.

Access steps

  1. 1
    Open the study in the PDC portalFor people5 minutes

    Proteomic data are released open; the portal's use guidelines still apply.

    https://pdc.cancer.gov/pdc/study/PDC000757

    Generated from repository policy. Check the linked policy before downloading.

  2. 2
    Accept the data use guidelines and downloadFor peopleminutes to hours, by study size

    The portal asks for acknowledgement and citation, not a data access request.

  3. 3
    Resolve the study UUID, then fetch the file manifestFor agents

    filesPerStudy keys on the study UUID, not on PDC000757: called with the pdc_study_id it returns the right number of rows with every column null. Resolve the UUID first and pass the terms acknowledgement.
