What it is
The most widely used public source of paired whole-slide images and molecular data across cancer types, underpinning most published WSI classification, survival and biomarker work.
Caveats
Tissue-source-site signal is a well-documented confounder — split by site, not just by patient, or results inflate.
Licence notes
Open and controlled-access tiers; controlled data requires dbGaP authorisation.
