Cancer Survival Analysis

Cancer Survival Analysis

Cancer survival analysis focuses on quantifying and interpreting the time from a key starting point, such as diagnosis or the initiation of treatment, to a specific endpoint, such as remission or death. This analysis provides critical insights into treatment effectiveness and factors that influence patient outcomes, helping to shape clinical decisions and guide prognostic evaluations. A cornerstone of oncology research, survival analysis tackles the challenges of skewed, non-normally...

Mouse Models of Cancer Study

Mouse Models of Cancer Study

Mice have long served as models for studying human biology and pathology because of their phylogenetic and physiological similarity with humans. They are also easy to maintain and breed in the laboratory, and hence, many inbred strains are now available for research. Studies on mice have contributed immeasurably to our understanding of cancer biology.
The development of transgenic, knockout, and knock-in mice has led to an exponential increase in their use as model organisms in research,...

Cancer-Critical Genes II: Tumor Suppressor Genes

Cancer-Critical Genes II: Tumor Suppressor Genes

Genes usually encode proteins necessary for the proper functioning of a healthy cell. Mutations can often cause changes to the gene expression pattern, thereby altering the phenotype.
When the function of certain critical genes, especially those involved in cell cycle regulation and cell growth signaling cascades, gets disrupted, it upsets the cell cycle progression. Such cells with unchecked cell cycles start proliferating uncontrollably and eventually develop into tumors.
Such genes that act...

Area of Science:

Biomedical Informatics
Cancer Research Data Standards

Background:

Standardization of Common Data Elements (CDEs) in cancer research relies on controlled terminology.
The quality assurance potential of this terminology binding remains underexplored.

Purpose of the Study:

To investigate the relationship between terminological annotations and the Unified Medical Language System (UMLS) Semantic Network (SN).
To explore how this relationship can enhance CDE annotations for quality assurance.

Main Methods:

Profiling terminological concepts of NCI Cancer Data Standards Repository (caDSR) CDEs using the UMLS SN.
Extracting object class/property concept pairs from 17,798 data elements.
Identifying dominant semantic types and evaluating conflicting pairs.

Main Results:

17,526 primary object class/property concept pairs were extracted.
Dominant semantic types were identified for object class and property categories.
A preliminary evaluation identified conflicting concept pairs where semantic types were unexpectedly assigned.

Conclusions:

The UMLS SN-based profiling approach is feasible for quality assurance and accessibility of cancer study CDEs.
This method offers insights for developing quality assurance mechanisms in meta-data repositories.
