ARGO Data Release 14.0 Adds Over 1,500 New Donors Across Six International Cancer Programs
The latest cumulative release expands the platform’s clinical and molecular dataset, reflecting the accelerating pace of global cancer genomics collaboration.
The International Cancer Genome Consortium ARGO Data Platform has published its fourteenth data release, marking another significant milestone in one of the world’s most comprehensive repositories of cancer genomics data. Released on 9 March 2026, Data Release 14.0 introduces 1,528 new donors and incorporates updates to an additional 495 existing donor records, drawing contributions from six distinct international research programs.
This latest release now brings the total to 7,056 donors available to researchers.
As with all ARGO data releases, Release 14.0 is cumulative in nature — building upon all previously released data — and contains paired clinical and molecular data submitted directly by participating programs to the ARGO Data Platform. The release continues a trajectory of growing data availability that is a defining feature of the ARGO initiative.
Contributing Programs
Six programs from across the globe contributed new and updated data to this release, spanning pancreatic cancer, circulating tumour DNA, hereditary cancers, and mutational signature research:
- CRUK Grand Challenge – Mutographs (MUTO-INTL)
- BC Cancer Personalized OncoGenomics Program (POG-CA)
- Multicenter Study to Profile and Monitor Cancer-related Genomic Alterations in Circulating Tumor DNA and Gut Microbiome in Advanced Solid Malignancies – SCRUM-Japan MONSTAR-SCREEN (MONSTAR-JP)
- Polyethnic-1000 (P1000-US)
- The Australian Pancreatic Genome Initiative (APGI-AU)
- Pancreatic Cancer Harmonized “Omics” analysis for Personalized Treatment (PACA-CA)
Accessing the Data
Released data from this and all prior ARGO releases is available for exploration through the platform’s File Repository. Open-tier data can be browsed and accessed directly, while controlled-access data — which includes most molecular data subject to privacy protections — requires prior approval through the Data Access Compliance Office (DACO) application process.
Approved researchers may download released files using the ARGO client tool. With Release 14.0 now live, researchers and clinicians working across oncology, computational biology, and translational medicine are encouraged to explore the available datasets.
