Highly relevant in ovarian cancer (in particular) and outcome prediction

Posted by OWS2011 on 03 Nov 2011 at 23:16 GMT

The article reports the implementation of a multivariate Cox model and data integration techniques to predict median time-to-event, using the plethera of serous ovarian tumor genomic and transcriptomic datasets available from the Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA). Results in the article emphasize the advantage of using more than one type of genomic or transcriptomic data to identifier biomarkers. It would be interesting to see if the techniques and approaches in the article could be applied and extended to other tumor types.
