Due to the heterogeneity of cancers, precise information about the genomic composition of germline and malignant tissues has to be correlated with morphological, clinical and extrinsic features to advance medical knowledge and treatment options. With global differences in cancer frequencies and disease types, geographic data is of importance to understand the interplay between genetic ancestry and environmental influence in cancer incidence, progression and treatment outcome. In this study, we analyzed the current landscape of oncogenomic screening publications for geographic information content and quality, to address underrepresented study populations and thereby to fill prominent gaps in our understanding of interactions between somatic variations, population genetics and environmental factors in oncogenesis. We conclude that while the use of proxy-derived geographic annotations can be useful for coarse-grained associations, the study of geo-correlated factors in cancer causation and progression will benefit from standardized geographic provenance annotations. Additionally, publication-derived geographic provenance data allowed us to highlight stark inequality in the geographies of cancer genome profiling, with a near lack of sizable studies from Africa and other large regions.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1093\/database\/baaa009","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2020,1,22]],"date-time":"2020-01-22T20:09:28Z","timestamp":1579723768000},"source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":6,"title":["Geographic assessment of cancer genome profiling studies"],"prefix":"10.1093","volume":"2020","author":[{"given":"Paula","family":"Carrio-Cordo","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Molecular Life Sciences, University of Zurich, Zurich, Switzerland"},{"name":"Swiss Institute of Bioinformatics, Zurich, Switzerland"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Elise","family":"Acheson","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Geography, University of Zurich, Zurich, Switzerland"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Qingyao","family":"Huang","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Molecular Life Sciences, University of Zurich, Zurich, Switzerland"},{"name":"Swiss Institute of Bioinformatics, Zurich, Switzerland"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Michael","family":"Baudis","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Molecular Life Sciences, University of Zurich, Zurich, Switzerland"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"286","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2020,4,2]]},"reference":[{"key":"2020040204450908900_ref1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1233","DOI":"10.1126\/science.1978757","article-title":"Germ line p53 mutations in a familial syndrome of breast cancer, sarcomas, and other neoplasms","volume":"250","author":"Malkin","year":"1990","journal-title":"Science"},{"key":"2020040204450908900_ref2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"120","DOI":"10.1126\/science.7939630","article-title":"Brca1 mutations in primary breast and ovarian carcinomas","volume":"266","author":"Futreal","year":"1994","journal-title":"Science"},{"key":"2020040204450908900_ref3","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"7","DOI":"10.3322\/caac.21387","article-title":"Cancer statistics, 2017","volume":"67","author":"Siegel","year":"2017","journal-title":"CA Cancer J.
